Hibiscus tea is so evocative of summer’s conviviality. Like cranberry juice, it’s naturally sweet and a little tart, but it also has a lovely dry astringency and light floral notes. And then there’s the deep crimson red of its petals — everything the tea touches turns to punch. Here, we shake up Hendrick’s gin, lemon, jalapeño, and tarragon, and then pour the hibiscus tea over it. When the red tea swirls into the pale yellow cocktail it’s exceptionally pretty. What a dangerously thirst-quenching drink! It’s sweet-tart with just a hint of heat. We love how the elderflower and rose petal in the Hendrick’s gin complements the hibiscus tea — without them one could miss the tea’s subtle flowery side altogether.
