Taste profile
Tartness leads — a cranberry-like acidity over dried-flower and berry notes, edged with a subtle earthiness and a sweet finish.
How it's used
Reached for when a drink needs both a jewel-red hue and a tart-floral accent, it works as a sweetening and coloring modifier, stirred or shaken into the build in a small measure so its acidity and sugar stay in balance.
Substitutes for Hibiscus (sorrel) liqueur
A floral or berry liqueur of similar sweetness, or hibiscus syrup with a splash of neutral spirit for the tart-floral profile.
Description
A sweetened spirit is infused or macerated with dried hibiscus calyces, drawing out their crimson color and tart floral character; the result is a vivid ruby liqueur of moderate strength.
