Lagos Hibiscus Punch

Description

Hibiscus brings its own cranberry-like tang to this rum punch, so lime gives the finish a second layer of acidity. Ginger syrup adds warmth in the middle and an orange twist gives the nose a fresh citrus note. Expect tart red fruit up front and ginger after the swallow.

Ingredients

45 ml Rum
25 ml Hibiscus juice
15 ml Ginger Syrup
20 ml lime juice
Ice
Orange Twist

Equipment needed

Cocktail Shaker – Used to chill, dilute and integrate the cocktail before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink. Fine Mesh Strainer – Use for a polished double-strain when citrus, fruit or herbs are shaken. Bottle Opener – Useful if the serve uses bottled soda, ginger beer or sparkling wine.

Instructions

Add Rum, Hibiscus juice, Ginger Syrup, and lime juice to a shaker filled with ice.
Shake hard until thoroughly chilled and the flavours are integrated.
Strain into the serving glass over fresh ice.
Finish with a fresh garnish that matches the fruit or citrus in the drink.
