- 1 1/2 ounces vodka
- 2 ounces grapefruit juice
- 1 ounces hibiscus syrup (see notes)
- 1 ounce strawberry puree (see notes)
- For garnish: strawberry heart, grapefruit slice
To make the hibiscus syrup: In a large saucepan, heat 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar until almost boiling. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Then add a hibiscus tea bag. Remove from heat and let the syrup steep for about 30 minutes.
Remove tea bag and transfer syrup to a jar or bottle. This should keep fresh for at least a week, but feel free to add 1 tablespoon of vodka to extend the syrup's shelf life.
To make the strawberry puree: Place about 1 pound of [hulled] strawberries in a blender and process until smooth. Transfer to a mason jar or bottle and refrigerate until you're ready to use it.
