Blood Orange Hibiscus Mocktail
I absolutely love when blood oranges are in season! This citrus fruit has a nice sweet tart flavor which is my favorite out of all the oranges plus it's gorgeous color! The tangy flavor of hibiscus pairs so well with the citrus flavors which is why I made a hibiscus simple syrup for this drink. This blood orange hibiscus mocktail recipe is such a refreshing drink and fun to serve at a party or a Valentine's/Galantine's Day get together. It's almost too pretty to drink!
