Hibiscus Cocktails

Hibiscus Tea Cocktails are low carb, low sugar, vegan, keto, and gluten-free. A healthier refreshing keto cocktail under 100 calories!

Plus hibiscus tea has some wonderful health benefits and is a gorgeous bright color, and goes so well in these drinks.

So I set out to make a "go-to" cocktail for any occasion or even as a holiday recipe. Now that is what I am talking about, a festive, healthy, and refreshing cocktail to enjoy with appetizers without the guilt from sugar, carbs, and calories...

Let's Make Them

• 4 hibiscus tea bags - or you can use loose leaf hibiscus tea and a tea ball.
• 2 cups boiling water
• organic liquid stevia drops a healthy calorie-free/zero carb sweetener made from the stevia leaf
• 1 shot of vodka per cocktail Tito’s is gluten-free, and 100 calories per 1.5 oz shot
• sparkling mineral water zero-calorie Perrier, La Croix, etc
• squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice
• garnish: oranges slices fresh or dried
• ice

1. Make a concentrated tea: place 4 tea bags into 2 cups of boiling water. Let steep for a minimum of 5 minutes or until cool. A cocktail shaker works great to steep tea, just wait till it cools to handle it.
2. Once cool, put ice in a glass, add 1 shot of vodka (a gluten-free brand if possible), a couple of splashes of concentrated hibiscus tea, squeeze of lime, 5-7 drops liquid stevia, top with lime sparkling water, and stir.
3. Garnish with a slice of orange, thin lime slices, rosemary stem with cranberries

I am certainly not a health expert, (so do your own research on this) but "experts" are saying that hibiscus tea provides many health benefits. And I am all for that!

As I started to change my eating and exercise habits, I heard about hibiscus tea and its health benefits.

Hibiscus Tea

You can buy your tea a couple of ways:

1. Hibiscus Tea Bags are easy to use and enjoy.
2. Loose Hibiscus Tea leaves are more economical, you will get a larger quantity, and will need a tea strainer or loose tea ball infuser.

Healthy Appetizers

You can serve or share a healthy appetizer at your next party, try my Buffalo Cauliflower - all the taste of wings without the guilt.

Or Shrimp Cocktail with Cocktail Sauce. Meyer Lemon Tapenade is delicious and so low carb scooped into small colorful bell peppers versus crackers!
