Notes
A few tips I've picked up:
Hibiscus syrup can be found at specialty stores or made at home by simmering dried hibiscus flowers with sugar and water.
Adjust the level of sweetness to your liking. Less syrup can make the drink more tart.
Experiment with different garnishes like mint or berries for a twist.
Feel free to switch out Prosecco with another bubbly like champagne or a non-alcoholic soda for variety. 🍾
