Learn How to Make the Heavenly Hibiscus Martini

Traditionally, martinis are made with gin or vodka and vermouth with bitters and an olive or lemon peel as garnish. This Birchin version skips the vermouth and uses a bit of hibiscus tea syrup to create a unique and delicious vodka cocktail.

Ingredients

For the Hibiscus Syrup: 1 cup water

2 TBSP hibiscus flowers

1 cup granulated sugar

For the Martini:

2 ounces vodka

½ oz orange-flavored liqueur

1 oz lime juice (fresh squeezed is best)

¾ oz Hibiscus syrup

Garnish: twisted lime peel, edible orchid, hibiscus or other flowers
