Cranberry-pink effervescent bubbles blushing with tart lemony flavor, these ice-cold hibiscus sparkling soda spritzers are about to become your favorite mocktails, hands down. For the best thirst quencher ever, look no further!

You start with a strong tea of dried magenta-red hibiscus flowers. (To be more exact, the dried calyx centers of the flowers.) Sweeten the tea with honey, just enough to soften the flower’s tangy sharpness. Pour a shot of the bright syrup over ice and top with fizzy water. Ta-da!
