Rhubarb Hibiscus Spritz

Tart stalks and floral hibiscus brewed to a vibrant punch. Swap sugar for agave for clean sweetness. Lemon replaced with pink grapefruit for subtle bitterness. Boil, steep, strain, chill. Bubble or still water finish. Pitch perfect fizz or calm quench. Adjust acidity by eye and tongue. Handful of aromatic herbs optional. Layer textures visually—ruby pink pour, crimson petals sinking. Rhubarb crispness meets floral sharpness with citrus twist. Easy prep, no fancy tools. Go slow with heat. Avoid bitter burn or soggy petals. A versatile drink base for mocktails or straight sips. Hydrating, fragrant, and bright against summer heat or mellow autumn days.
