The Hibiskey Sour is a cocktail invented and named by my wonderful husband. We had some leftover cold hibiscus tea in the refrigerator that needed to be used (I was trying to convince our 14-year-old that cold hibiscus tea would be an apt substitute for the brand-named cold tea that she was having trouble finding; I was not successful). The only problem with this creation was that it almost immediately necessitated the brewing of more hibiscus tea! Hibiscus tea bags may or may not be easy to find where you live. We found them at a local Japanese grocery store. That was years ago, honestly. I don’t even remember why we bought them. For a cocktail recipe, probably. It must not have been a very good recipe because the hibiscus tea bags have sat in our pantry ever since. This cocktail, however, is delicious. Enjoy!
