Holiday Hibiscus Mocktail

Updated: Aug 21



There are few things that feel more like the holidays than a festive drink. Any time of year, mocktails spark all kinds of joy. They have become welcome options at many restaurants. And of course if bubbly is calling you, you can always sub in some low-alcohol prosecco or cava instead of sparkling water.


Hibiscus has many health benefits, including and most notably for heart health. The flowers are mainly used dried and are rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals and help prevent cellular damage. In one study, hibiscus was shown to lower blood pressure, which can be a contributing factor to heart disease, which remains the leading cause of death in the U.S.


Easy to make, this tea comes together quickly and can be made days ahead to have on hand for welcome guests. The taste profile is a bit sour, so we've blended it with sweet spices and unrefined sweeteners to help balance the flavor. Some bitter lemon and spicy ginger helps brighten the mixture and create a delicious finale.



All you need is:


dried hibiscus flowers

cinnamon sticks (2-3)

anise pods (2)

fresh ginger

pomegranate juice (100%)

fresh lemon and/or lime juice

agave or maple syrup (if desired)

optional garnishes


assemble your ingredients, and here we go!
