Hibiscus Berry Aperol Moscow Mule Cocktail

Summer just might be my favorite season for cocktails. Maybe itโ€™s all the days in the sun, that itโ€™s wedding season, or that thereโ€™s always something to toast, but Iโ€™ve been mixing drinks up a lot lately. My latest creation is this Hibiscus Berry Aperol Moscow Mule, inspired by this Hibiscus Rum Buck from my friends over at Honestly Yum!

You know Iโ€™m a sucker for ginger beer cocktails and hibiscus just might be my favorite flavor of aguas frescas when Iโ€™m at my local taqueria. So, this Hibiscus Berry Aperol Moscow Mule combines a little of those both. But, you know how I like my cocktails with a slight edge, so I added in some Aperol for a little something something.

Now, go stock up on all your cooking essentials, then head into the kitchen, make this, and share it with us by tagging @saltandwind and #swsociety on social!

Ingredients
  

For the Hibiscus Berry Syrup:

  • 1 1/2 cups raspberries or blackberries about 6 ounces
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup unrefined cane sugar
  • 1/2 ounce hibiscus leaves or tea about 4 tea bags

For the cocktail:

  • 1 1/2 ounces vodka
  • 3/4 ounce Hibisicus Berry syrup
  • 1/2 ounce Aperol
  • Ice
  • 1 1/2 ounces chilled ginger beer
  • 1 medium lime for serving

Instructions
 

  • For the Hibiscus Berry Syrup: Combine the berries, water, and sugar in a small saucepan, use the back of a spoon to mash up the berries, and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once the mixture boils, remove from heat and let steep until berry flavors come through, about 10 minutes. Add the tea and steep for 5 to 7 minutes, until the tart hibiscus flavor is apparent. Strain and press on the berry mixture to release juices. Set aside to cool slightly before using.
  • For the cocktail: Use a channel knife to remove some of the lime peel then twist into a spiral twist. Cut the other half of the lime into very thin slices. Add a few ice cubes to a Tom Collins or other tall, narrow glass then add vodka, Aperol, Hibiscus Berry Syrup, and a few lime slices. Top with ginger beer, stir, and garnish with a lime twist, if using, and serve.
