1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz simple syrup
2-3 orange slices

Ice
Lime wheel and orange slice for garnish

The hibiscus syrup gives this cocktail its pretty pink color and tart flavor.

Instructions

Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.
Strain into a tall glass filled with ice.

Garnish with a lime wheel and orange slice.

Shaking the drink with ice chills it quickly and blends the flavors. The club soda adds a nice fizz and lightens the drink.

Notes

This recipe makes one cocktail. You can easily double or triple it for a group. For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and add more club soda.

The drink is quite tart. If you prefer it sweeter, add more simple syrup. You can also try different citrus fruits like grapefruit or tangerine for variety.

Store leftover hibiscus syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks. Use it in other cocktails or mix with soda water for a quick drink.
