Recipe: Hibiscus Clover Rose


Wild Hibiscus let me look at their new brochure.  The first thing that caught my eye was a recipe, Clover Rose.  I HAD to make.   I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to share with you.

Hibiscus Clover Rose - 1st night
Hibiscus Clover Rose - 2nd night.















3rd night I wasn't in the mood to take pictures.  
There was no 4th night because I was out of gin and Chambourd.

Hibiscus Clover Rose
3 dashes Wild Hibiscus Flower syrup
¾ oz. simple syrup
¾ oz. pasturized egg white
¾ oz. fresh lemon juice
1½  oz, gin
¾ oz. Chambord raspberry liqueur

Put all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.  Shake vigorously.  Strain into glass.  Serve. 

The original recipe is Clover Rose and has Wild Hibiscus' product Rose & Hibiscus Flower Extract.  I do not have that ingredient, nor do I know where to purchase it.  However, I do have A LOT of Wild Hibiscus Flower syrup so I used that.  When I made this the first night I wasn't thinking through that the syrup is sweet and simple syrup is sweet. I was too anxious to make, shake, and drink.  I should have cut back on the simple syrup a bit.   The other two nights I did cut back on the simple syrup, but didn't measure.  Sorry.  You'll have to figure that out based on  your palate.  Just add a little at a time and taste as you add.
