This beautifully pink and delicious gin sour is a fantastic sour cocktail for parties and get togethers! The hibiscus doesn’t just give this creative gin cocktail a lovely color, but also a delightful waft of fragrant floral notes!

I knew hibiscus would go perfectly with gin and give the cocktail a beautiful shade of pink, so we whipped up a Hibiscus Gin Sour that’s lightly sweetened, smooth with a subtle of floral flavor.

I love experimenting with dried hibiscus flowers. We used them in an ice ring once and they turned it hot pink, which was awesome!

How To Make A Gin Sour – Step By Step

  • 1 egg white (the egg white gives it a frothy layer, but if you want to leave it out you can)
  • Make sure to use fresh squeezed lemon juice.
  • Add all of the ingredients in a large cocktail shaker with ice. Shake very hard for 30 seconds. Strain into a small glass over a large ice cube. Enjoy!

Hibiscus Simple Syrup

  • In a small sauce pan, simmer sugar and water until sugar has dissolved.
  • Add in the hibiscus and simmer for another 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit for another 20 minutes if you can!

A Classic Gin Cocktail With A Floral Twist.

Cocktails are all about experimentation; mixing sweet and sour, spirits and syrups, style and substance. So why not get really creative and throw some flowers into the mix?

Flowers are a great way to give your favorite cocktail a floral twist. Whether or not you actually eat the blooms, use them as a garnish, or flavoring – flowers at your next party can elevate a simple glass of gin to insta-worthy status!

Gin Sour Glassware

 I used these for our hibiscus gin sour and I love the shape of them and that they fit a round ice cube perfectly.

I’ve been using this coupe dinnerware line for a few months now and I absolutely LOVE it!

They have gorgeous flatware and I’m obsessed with their Schott Zwiesel glassware because they’re break, chip and scratch-resistant stemware!

    I’m a sucker for floral cocktails, especially anything with hibiscus. This is definitely much needed right now as I’m self quarantining with a toddler that needs my constant attention. Love!

    Hi!! I really want to make these and am wondering if it’s 1 egg white per drink, or 1 for every 2 servings?? It’s not in the ingredient list so I’m worried I’ll use too much/little and it’ll be weird. Thank you!! These look so amazing.

          The recipe serves 2, so just 1 egg white in the recipe and you’ll get two cocktails. You also don’t have to use egg white if you don’t want. It just makes a frothy top!
