Hibiscus Cocktail

These hibiscus flowers in syrup will garnish tonight’s cocktails beautifully.  We found these at a local Whole Foods.  Hopefully, we’ll be able to find them again.  Don’t you hate it when you find a unique ingredient, fall in love with it, and realize it’s never to be found again?  Luckily, Wild Hibiscus has a website.
