This hibiscus gin sour is a beautiful, pink cocktail and a classic sour drink. It’s perfect for parties and get togethers! The hibiscus doesn’t just give this creative gin cocktail a lovely color, but also a delightful, floral frangrance.

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. Similar to our whiskey sour, this recipe is smooth and refreshing.

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

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.

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

    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!

    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!
