Ginger and champagne — two flavors I love, plus I just reread Dune .. . so I’m up for trying this. I have some Trader Joe’s dried hibsicus flowers at home — they are not candied, but I wonder if they’d work.

What a creative idea!

…there is no fear…fear is the mind killer…

Sorry, got carried away; this sounds ridiculously great. I’ve never seen these before, despite doing all manner of things with hibiscus, so cheers & thanks!

Out of curiosity, do you think this recipe would work well with a good dry hard cider (apple or pear); a modified Jersey Cocktail if you will?

As I started reading your post, I clicked on the hibiscus flower link and it looked so beautiful on their website. Sad that it turned into an odd creature in the glass. The cocktail sounds amazing nonetheless. – Felicia

I don’t know…I saw the photo on flickr first and thought it was gorgeous. I guess I’m all for candied alien-like flowers in my drink! Now that I know your secrets, I may have to try this for Xmas Eve. Thanks!

Mmm … I can still taste it on my mind’s tongue. I was so taken by the sweet-tart burst of the hibiscus flower that was almost juicy when you bit into the blossom end. And you can make anything with ginger, in my book. Thanks for kicking off our event with such a high-class drink. (P.S. Who vehemently opposed to the flower?)

Ah…so that`s how these hibiscus flowers look in reality! i`ve seen them so beautifully and bright red in the ads and been wondering if they really are like that..but never been able to try as they aren´t sold here. Good to know.

Great post and pics as usual.
