1

Prepare the hibiscus and berry gelée mixture

Start by preparing the hibiscus and berry gelée mixture. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of hibiscus tea, 1/2 cup of mixed berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries), 1/4 cup of sugar, and the juice of half a lemon. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the berries have softened. Remove from heat and let it cool.

2

Strain the gelée mixture

Once the gelée mixture has cooled, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids. You should be left with a beautiful, vibrant liquid full of delicious flavors.

3

Prepare the cocktail base

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 ounces of vodka, 1 ounce of elderflower liqueur, and the juice of half a lime. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the ingredients and mix them well.

4

Add the gelée mixture and shake again

Add 2 ounces of the strained hibiscus and berry gelée mixture to the cocktail shaker. Shake once more to combine all the flavors and create a beautiful pink hue throughout.

5

Strain and serve

Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass or coupe, using a fine-mesh sieve to catch any ice shards or small berry pieces. Garnish with a fresh berry or a twist of lime peel, and serve with a smile!
