Cocktail of the week: the Mandrake’s hibiscus – recipe

An Aperol spritz/cosmo hybrid that’s equal parts refreshing and bubbly

A glorious combination of classic ingredients that is equal parts refreshing and bubbly – think a fruity yet refined Aperol spritz/cosmopolitan hybrid with a sparkling edge. Enjoy with friends on a sunny afternoon and embrace those fragrant citrus flavours.

Hibiscus

Serves 1

30ml Aperol
20ml vodka
– we use Grey Goose
Rosé champagne, to top – we use Veuve Cliquot
A splash of grapefruit soda, to finish
1 slice dehydrated grapefruit, or 1 hibiscus flower, to garnish (optional)

Pour the Aperol and vodka into a wine glass filled with ice, top up with rosé champagne and a splash of grapefruit soda, garnish with the slice of dehydrated citrus (or a hibiscus flower), if using, and serve.
