Mocktail

Cranberry Hibiscus Mocktail is a vibrant and refreshing drink that brings together the tartness of cranberry, the floral character of hibiscus, and the bright flavour of fresh citrus. Deep-red hibiscus tea is brewed with dried flowers and chilled before being combined with cranberry juice, agave syrup, lemon, and orange slices over ice. A twist of fresh orange peel adds a fragrant finishing touch, making every sip beautifully aromatic. Perfect for celebrations, summer gatherings, or a relaxing afternoon, this elegant mocktail can also be topped with sparkling water for a fizzy variation. Prepare the hibiscus tea ahead for easy entertaining and quick assembly.

Cranberry Hibiscus Mocktail

Ingredients

    For the Hibiscus Tea:

    • 1/2 cup dried Hibiscus flowers
    • 2 cups hot (near-boiling) water

    For Assembling Each Mocktail (per glass):

    • Ice cubes
    • 1 cup strained hibiscus tea (from the batch above)
    • 1/2 cup Cranberry juice (unsweetened is recommended)
    • 1-2 teaspoons Agave syrup, or to taste
    • 2 slices of fresh lemon
    • 2 slices of fresh orange
    • A strip of fresh orange peel for garnish

    Directions

      Step 1: Brew the Hibiscus Tea

      1. In a French press or a heatproof glass container, add the 1/2 cup of dried hibiscus flowers.

      2. Carefully pour the 2 cups of hot water over the flowers.

      3. Let the tea steep for 20 minutes to develop a deep color and robust flavor.

      Step 2: Strain and Chill the Tea

      1. After 20 minutes, strain the tea to remove the flowers. If using a French press, simply press the plunger down. Otherwise, pour the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate container.

      2. For a perfectly chilled drink, allow the hibiscus tea to cool to room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

      Step 3: Assemble the Mocktail

      1. Fill a serving glass with a generous amount of ice cubes.

      2. Add the lemon and orange slices into the glass.

      3. Pour in the agave syrup, cranberry juice, and 1 cup of your cooled, strained hibiscus tea.

      4. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients.

      Step 4: Garnish and Serve

      1. Garnish the top of the drink with a fresh strip of orange peel. For extra aroma, twist the peel over the glass before dropping it in.

      2. Serve immediately and enjoy!
