Hibiscus Heat

Description

Hibiscus liqueur gives this tequila sparkler a tangy red-fruit impression, and chilli cordial adds warmth that arrives after the first sip. Sparkling wine keeps the agave and spice from feeling heavy. It makes a good change from a spicy Paloma when you want red fruit and wine-led bubbles.

20 ml Hibiscus liqueur

60 ml Sparkling Wine
