HOW TO SERVE Hibiscus Rose Spritz
Serving the Hibiscus Rose Spritz in a lovely wine glass enhances its aesthetic appeal, making it perfect for parties or romantic dinners. Portion control is key: a serving size of this drink can be around 5 oz, which keeps the calorie count reasonable without sacrificing flavor. For an even lighter option, consider reducing the amount of rose lemonade and adding sparkling water to keep the effervescence while cutting back on sugar.

STORAGE & FREEZING: Hibiscus Rose Spritz
This drink is best served fresh; however, you can store the hibiscus syrup in the fridge for 1-2 weeks. When it comes to the assembled drink, it’s not advisable to store it, as the fizz from the rose lemonade will dissipate and alter the texture. If you prepare the components in advance, you can mix them up fresh when you are ready to enjoy or serve.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Pair your Hibiscus Rose Spritz with a healthy light salad or some grilled chicken skewers for a balanced meal. This combination is not only filling but also low in calories, making it a great companion for your drink while keeping your meal healthy.

VARIATIONS

Healthier Version: Use a low-calorie gin or a non-alcoholic gin alternative mixed with an herbal infusion to create a mocktail version. This lowers the calorie count and creates a refreshing drink suitable for all ages.
High-Protein Version: For a protein boost, consider adding a splash of protein-infused sparkling water to the drink. This will enhance the drink’s nutritional content while keeping the flavor profile intact.
Air Fryer Version: Serve your Hibiscus Rose Spritz alongside air-fried vegetable chips. Simply toss thinly sliced veggies with a bit of salt and air fry until crispy. The crunch pairs well with the lightness of the drink.
