Homemade Hibiscus Liqueur

You’ll make the most beautiful, tropical, flavorful cocktails with your own burgundy, homemade hibiscus liqueur. 

A cocktail on a table with 3 small flowers at its base and a spoon, wet with hibiscus tea, and sprinkled with flowers.

It’s the easiest thing in the world to make, and SO tasty! All you need is a half-cup of dry hibiscus flowers, vodka or Everclear and a sealable jar to soak your flowers in for about 24 hours.

You can add a bit of sugar, but only if you intend to make cocktails without other sweeteners. It adds a lovely tropical-cranberry flavor to any drink.

I like to chew on them, myself. They taste like healthy, tart fruit rollups.

Now, be careful not to spill any on your clothes, and enjoy!
