Serves one; scale up as needed.

Ingredients:

  • 3 oz fresh blood orange juice (or regular orange juice for milder flavor)
  • 0.5–1.5 ml of Mocktail Magic (Pro Tip: start low—you can always add more!)
  • 2 oz hibiscus tea, brewed and chilled (for vibrant color and tartness)
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom (or a pinch of ground cloves for a warmer note)
  • 1 oz honey syrup (mix equal parts honey and warm water, then cool)
  • 2 oz sparkling water
  • Blood orange slice and edible flower (optional) for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Brew hibiscus tea (steep 1 tsp loose hibiscus or 1 tea bag in 8 oz hot water for 5 minutes), then chill in the fridge.
  2. In a shaker with ice, combine blood orange juice, lemon juice, honey syrup, and cardamom. Shake for 10 seconds to blend.
  3. Strain into a chilled highball glass filled with ice.
  4. Slowly pour in chilled hibiscus tea to create a layered sunset effect, then top with sparkling water for fizz.
  5. Stir gently to blend colors slightly, and garnish with a blood orange slice and an edible flower for extra magic.
💡 Pro Tip: For a “fitness mocktail” twist, add a splash of ginger kombucha instead of sparkling water for extra digestion support and a subtle spicy kick.
