Ingredients You’ll Need

1.5 oz simple syrup: This sweet base balances the flavors. You can easily make your own by dissolving equal parts sugar and water.
1.5 oz strawberry puree: Made from fresh strawberries blended until smooth, this adds a fruity depth. Swap with other berries if needed.
6 oz cooled hibiscus tea: Brewed from hibiscus flowers, this tea offers a floral flavor. Pre-made tea bags simplify this process, too.
4-6 oz prosecco: This bubbly wine gives the drink a festive fizz. Feel free to substitute with sparkling water for a non-alcoholic version.
1 heaping cup sliced strawberries, tops removed: These plump beauties add vibrant color and garnish. Cherries or raspberries are lovely alternatives.
1-2 tbsp water: Used to blend the strawberries smoothly.

How to Make Strawberry Hibiscus Spritz

Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Start by adding the heaping cup of sliced strawberries and the water into a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth without any chunks. This yields about 3/4 cup of puree, enough for four drinks that you can store in the fridge.
Brew the Hibiscus Tea: To make the tea, steep one hibiscus tea bag in 6 oz of hot water until fully brewed. Once steeped, let it cool completely to avoid watering down your drink with melting ice during mixing.
Combine the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, fill it with a small amount of ice. Next, add the simple syrup, cooled hibiscus tea, and strawberry puree. Shake well until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
Assemble the Cocktail: Add some ice to a tall glass—approximately 16 oz is suitable. Pour the strawberry-hibiscus mixture over the ice, filling the glass about halfway. Then top it off with prosecco to your liking, giving it a gentle stir. A squeeze of lemon brightens the flavors, adding that little extra touch.
Garnish and Serve: For an enticing presentation, garnish with slices of fresh strawberry, a lemon wedge, or delicate hibiscus petals. Enjoy your refreshing drink while soaking in the sunshine or at a cozy evening gathering!

Storing & Reheating

For optimal freshness, consume the drink immediately. However, you can store the strawberry puree and hibiscus tea in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you need to prepare in advance, keep the ingredients separate to maintain the fizz of your prosecco. Freezing is not recommended as it may alter the texture and flavors.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid blending the strawberries with too much water, as it might dilute the flavor. Just enough to create a smooth puree is ideal.
Prepare the strawberry puree and hibiscus tea the day before for effortless assembly.
If your cocktail ends up too sweet, adjust it by adding a splash more hibiscus tea or lemon juice.
To prevent the ice from melting quickly, chill your glass beforehand.

Each sip of this Strawberry Hibiscus Spritz brings together sweet reminiscences and summertime bliss. The robust flavors marry seamlessly, creating a drink that is comforting yet refreshing. You’ll find it equally welcoming for a brunch with friends or a moment of self-care in your favorite chair.

Recipe FAQs

How can I make this drink non-alcoholic?

To transform your Strawberry Hibiscus Spritz into a delightful mocktail, simply replace the prosecco with sparkling water or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine. The hibiscus tea and strawberry puree still deliver luscious flavor, perfect for any gathering.

Can I prepare the strawberry puree in advance?

Absolutely! You can make the puree a day or two ahead and store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator. This not only saves time but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

What if I don’t have hibiscus tea?

If hibiscus tea isn’t on hand, feel free to substitute with other fruity teas like raspberry or a floral chamomile. Keep in mind that the flavor profile will change, but it’ll still be delicious!

How can I enhance the flavors?

Consider adding a few fresh mint leaves or a hint of lime to elevate your drink further. These additions can offer a refreshing twist, adding depth to the already delightful concoction.
