Here's our take on a light summery cocktail perfect for this season. It's also a great choice to show off your mixology skills, especially when entertaining. The hibiscus petals add a lovely ruby red hue along with a little tartness, while the thyme and strawberries compliment gin perfectly.
Infuse hibiscus petals (5-8 petals per cup (240ml) of alcohol) in any clear alcohol - gin/vodka/ white rum/ tequila for half an hour.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace the alcohol with warm water.
Ingredients
45 ml hibiscus infused gin (or water)
30 ml thyme sugar syrup (syrup is 1:1 sugar:water) with muddled strawberries
30 ml lime juice
2 dashes of bitters
1 thyme sprig, for garnish (optional)
1 egg white (optional)
Method
Combine all ingredients in a shaker and pour into a clean glass. Garnish with a sprig of thyme.
