Hibiscus Lemonade Cocktail

This cocktail looks fancy, but is so easy to make. Impress your guests this summer with a glass of refreshing hibiscus lemonade!





INGREDIENTS:
1.5 oz. Vodka (we suggest using High Ore Vodka for a cleaner flavor and higher purity)
.75 oz. Vanilla Simple Syrup
.25 oz. Hibiscus Syrup
1 oz. Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice

VANILLA SIMPLE SYRUP RECIPE:
2 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Water
2 Whole Vanilla Beans

Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan. Split the vanilla beans lengthwise into halves and place into the boiling syrup. Allow to simmer gently for 30 minutes then strain out the vanilla pods, leaving some of the tiny seeds in the syrup. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one month.

COCKTAIL RECIPE:
Combine all ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker and shake to mix. Strain into a glass with ice. Garnish with a candied hibiscus flower and a twist of lemon. COURTNEY’S TIP: For an extra fancy garnish, zest a whole lemon in one continuous peel and twist it around in half. This gives the drink a splash of color and adds a little extra flavor to the lemonade. Enjoy!
