Pro Tips
- Swap egg white for aquafaba (chickpea brine) for a vegan-friendly version.
- Use a floral-forward gin (like Empress 1908 or The Botanist) to enhance the hibiscus notes.
- To make your own hibiscus syrup, simmer dried hibiscus petals with sugar and water, then strain.
- Chill your glass beforehand for better foam retention.
