What is Hibiscus?
The Hibiscus is a flowering plant that’s often used to make a flavorful tea-like drink.
Hibiscus generally has a tart cranberry-like flavor, with notes of citrus. It’s made into teas, syrups and juices that are great when worked into cocktail recipes.
The color it adds to drinks is a purple-y pink that is absolutely stunning. You can see an example in my Hibiscus Martini Recipe.

How to Make Hibiscus Moscow Mule
Welcome spring with this easy Moscow Mule recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ oz vodka
- 2 oz Hibiscus Cooler juice
- 1 oz Hibiscus Liquor
- ¼ – ½ oz fresh lime juice
- 2 oz ginger beer
I found the Hibiscus Cooler juice in my local grocery store and also on Amazon Fresh.
The Hibiscus Liquor I found at Bev Mo. I love the Fruitlab Hibiscus Liqueur from Greenbar Distillery. It’s made in LA and is organic and color and additive-free!
Tips and/or Substitutions
Don’t want to buy Hibiscus Liqueur just for a few recipes, you can get a similar flavor by using tart cherry juice or a low-sugar cranberry juice.
Add in some floral notes with bitters or elderflower liqueur if you happen to have that.
But I really do love the liqueur because it’s such a concentrated flavor and it adds a little heft to the drink.
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!
It’s an alcohol delivery service that delivers your order in about an hour! It’s so handy!
Directions:
- To a copper Moscow Mule mug, add ice.
- Add vodka, hibiscus juice, hibiscus liquor, and fresh lime juice.
- Top with ginger beer and bitters.
- Use a bar spoon to give it a quick stir.
It’s such a quick and easy recipe but feels totally unique. This Hibiscus Mule recipe is perfect for spring happy hours or for unwinding after dinner.
