Wild Hibiscus Negroni Recipe
Get smart with this cocktail recipe for my twist on a Negroni. This Italian born drink is refreshing, good to sip, and has a complex slightly sweet and bitter flavor. The substitution of wild hibiscus rose syrup for aperol (an orange alcohol) gives a burst of flavor. Hibiscus is a tropical plant and beyond landscapes is utilized in tea, Mexican cuisine when dried or candied, and herbology. A note of caution...some forms of hibiscus are toxic to pets and animals.
