This is the kind of drink that feels like spring the second you take a sip. It’s vibrant, slightly tart, and just floral enough to feel interesting without going too far.
Using Hibiscus Lavender as the base gives this a deep ruby color and a layered flavor that plays really well with grapefruit and lime. The hibiscus brings that punchy tartness, while the lavender smooths everything out and keeps it balanced.
It’s refreshing, a little unexpected, and perfect for warmer days or an easy weekend cocktail.
