A Light & Refreshing Summertime Cocktail … Rose Hibiscus Spritz

August 10, 2022 By Juliet 21 Comments

Warm summer nights call for light, refreshing, and pretty cocktails. Today I’m thrilled to join Annie, Cindy, Mary Ann and a few of their blogging pals to share our favorite summertime cocktail – and mocktail – recipes. It’s going to be good so let’s get inspired.

August is Cocktail Month at Snowberry.

And I’m kicking things off with a Rose Hibiscus Spritz.

Made with gin, rose, hibiscus syrup and fresh squeezed lemon juice.

And topped off with Club Soda.

It’s based on a recipe from BHG, but I use less alcohol.

It’s summer in a cocktail shaker.

First let’s make Rose Hibiscus Simple Syrup.

It’s easy and you can do it the night before.

Or morning of.

It keeps in the refrigerator up to two weeks.

Here’s what to do.

Rose Hibiscus Simple Syrup

In a sauce pan combine:

1 cup rose wine

1 cup sugar

1 hibiscus tea bag

Bring to a simmer until sugar dissolves.

Stirring frequently.

Cool to room temperature.

Squeeze tea tag and remove.

Refrigerate.

I made an Instagram video that you can watch here.

When it’s cocktail time, here’s what you’ll need.

(makes 2 spritz)

2 oz Gin

2 oz Dry Rose

1/2 oz Rose Hibiscus Simple Syrup

1/2 oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice

Club Soda

2 sprigs of Rosemary

Tray of cocktail ingredients

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.

Add gin, rose, hibiscus syrup and lemon juice.

Shake well.

If you need a good cocktail shaker (who doesn’t?), I like this one.


 

Strain into chilled glasses.

Add ice, if you like.

I love these sparkling wine glasses from Crate & Barrel.

They’re not just for sparkling wine.

I use them for all kinds of drinks.

Top each glass with Club Soda.

Garnish with Rosemary.

Don’t they look pretty?!

They’re light … something I really appreciate in a cocktail.

The color is glorious.

And the fresh squeezed lemon juice smells heavenly.

The Rose Hibiscus Spritz is officially my favorite summer cocktail.

CHEERS!

And carrying my new gathering basket from Pottery Barn.

I even clipped flowers which is usually something I’m very squeamish about.

 

Pippa enjoys making spritzers too.

And any excuse to swan around the patio.

So there you have it.

A light, refreshing, and pretty summer cocktail.

    I am ordering those glasses today! My daughter and I fell in love with Aperol spritzers when we took a family trip to Italy. They serve every cocktail with a small accompaniment of something like chips, almonds, etc.

    Those Crate and Barrel glasses are so pretty and reasonably priced. I gave some to my sister…I want them too. This cocktail must be as fragrant as a bouquet. I love that it feels feminine. You have the most beautiful hair!!

    Juliet, I have to get my hibiscus game on. Looks like a really pretty drink to serve and especially for a summer night! I love the pretty glasses and the rosemary garnish too. You look lovely in your Tuckernuck dress and in your pretty garden. Who would not want to be sipping one of these amongst the hydrangeas? xo

      Get it girl … this is the perfect drink for your lush, resort-like back patio. Make a batch of hibiscus syrup (easy) and be set to spritzer all week. That’s the blessing, and the curse. Haha … xoxo

    Now I can get behind this one! It is interesting that you “cook” the wine. This looks and sounds absolutely delicious! I knew you would come up with a good one “cocktail queen”. Darling dress on you by the way!
