It’s hard to beat the natural sweetness, unique tartness and stunning color of hibiscus, but this fizzy drink can be modified with any chilled tea. Don't turn away at the mention of apple cider vinegar: It’s decidedly tame. But if you’re into the aggressive sourness of vinegar, feel free to add more.

I enjoyed this one, but felt it was missing some complexity. I added some angostora bitters, which helped immensely. Will definitely be making this again.

My friend introduced me to a delicious, minimalist version of this drink and I recommend trying it before adding extra ingredients. It's easier and has zero calories. Just pour equal parts chilled hibiscus tea and sparkling water into glass and enjoy. I don't even add ice. The tea I particularly recommend is Republic of Tea's hibiscus sangria iced tea, created with bits of dry fruit in its blend.

thought there was a bit much vinegar as written. suggest starting with half and adjusting to taste.

I had raspberry balsamic vinegar at home and it tasted great!

I found this to be perfectly delicious made exactly to recipe, and also visually pleasing.

I loved this. It’s one of the few mocktails I’ve enjoyed. The apple cider vinegar is great.
