Easy Hibiscus Gin Sour

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! 

How To Make A Gin Sour

Here is everything that’s in a gin sour:

• Egg White – The egg white gives it a frothy layer, but you can also leave it out.

• Fresh Lemon Juice – Make sure to use fresh squeezed lemon juice.

• Gin – Any gin will work.

• Dried Hibiscus Flower – Used to make a simple syrup and to ganrish.

• Chambord – A raspberry liqueur

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.

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!
