You’ll Love This Hibiscus Martini Recipe

This vodka martini recipe skips the more savory Vermouth in favor of a little hibiscus liqueur.

Paired with vodka and Hibiscus Cooler juice, the flavor is fruity, a little bit herbal and totally delicious.

I feel in love with hibiscus cocktails when I made a Grapefruit Hibiscus Cocktail a few years ago.

It’s an unusual flavor that is totally addicting and one that I crave!

What does Hibiscus Taste Like?

Hibiscus has a tart flavor with a subtle hint of flowers. You may also notice that hibiscus has a cranberry-esque flavor.

Fruitlab Hibiscus Liqueur is delicious and is a great way to get that tasty flavor to cocktails. The consistency is thicker than juice and has a more concentrated flavor.

I also used Hibiscus Cooler juice which has a thinner consistency and a more juice-like flavor.

Both of these together make a truly delightful base flavor for this hibiscus vodka cocktail.

I got this Fruitlab Hibiscus Liqueur at my local Bev Mo and while I typically don’t buy things that not everyone would have, this was worth the trip!

You can use this to add a fun twist to just about any type of cocktail!

I’m terrible about making sure that I have the ingredients on hand before I start a recipe. I fell in love with Drizly for this reason!

Unfortunately, they don’t have this hibiscus liqueur but they do have lots of other hibiscus products! And vodka.
