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!
