Bitter Orange & Hibiscus Tonic

Prepare the Hibiscus Base

1. If brewing fresh, steep 1 hibiscus tea bag (or 1 tablespoon dried hibiscus flowers) in 100ml boiling water for 8 minutes, strain, and chill completely in the refrigerator.

Build the Drink

2. Fill a chilled highball glass to the top with fresh ice cubes.
3. Pour the non-alcoholic bitter orange aperitif, chilled hibiscus tea, fresh orange juice, and fresh lime juice directly over the ice.
4. Top slowly with the chilled Indian tonic water to preserve carbonation.
5. Gently stir with a barspoon from bottom to top just once to blend without losing the fizz.

Finish and Serve

6. Tuck an orange wheel against the inside of the glass and slap the rosemary sprig between your palms to release its essential oils before inserting it next to the ice.
