MY BLOODY VALENTINE

CUSTOM COCKTAIL
  • 1/4 c dried organic hibiscus tea
  • 3 Tbsp dried organic rose petals
  • 1.5 oz hibiscus rose-infused vodka
  • 1 oz black rum
  • 1 oz simple syrup (see recipe below)
  • 0.5 oz lime juice
  • 3 drops orange blossom water
  • Candied hibiscus flower

Add 1 c vodka, hibiscus tea, and rose petals to a large jar. Seal, shake, and set aside overnight. The resulting vodka will be a deep red—like blood. Add 1.5 oz of the infused vodka to a shaker with a large ice cube, along with the black rum, syrup, juice, and orange blossom water. Agitate vigorously, then strain into a rocks glass filled halfway with crushed ice. Garnish with a candied hibiscus flower, if desired. ​
