Instructions

  • In a small sauce pan, add ½ cup of water, 3 cinnamon sticks and 1 tsp. of cloves. Allow it to simmer for 8 minutes. Add 2 tbsp. dry hibiscus flowers to the pan and allow it to simmer for 3 minutes, Remove from heat and allow it to sit for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Strain spices and flowers out of the liquid, then pour over a strainer into a small bowl. Add 1 tsp. of sugar and stir until dissolved

For the Cocktail

  • In a cocktail shaker, add 4 oz. whisky, 1½ oz. spiced hibiscus syrup and ½ oz. maraschino liqueur. Add ice and shake. Pour into a frosted coup glass through a strainer, and serve.

Notes

Make sure to strain your ingredients through a small mesh strainer into your glass. The spiced hibiscus syrup will be somewhat thick and will leave a fair amount of sediment behind once the cloves and cinnamon are removed. You want this cocktail to be perfectly opaque.
