Hibiscus Zero Proof Cocktail
Some recipes are total keepers. This one, my bartender friend, Sean, crafted is one. It’s so easy and equally delicious. It had to be because I sampled it all over the Pacific Northwest this summer. I think I’ve made this cocktail over 200 times and it’s always finished by the drinker. Light, not to sweet, not too tart - it’s a crowd favorite perfectly refreshing for those last remaining days of summer.
