I was introduced to Wild Hibiscus Flowers this past summer at Tales of the Cocktail and most recently while playing with cocktails at home, I wanted to do something different with hibiscus flowers! So…since I love cooking with the broiler…voila! I put some hibiscus flowers on a cookie sheet and into the broiler they went. Now these babies are very delicate, so they were only in there for a few minutes. Check out the results!
Check out the photography gallery for a taste of the “Good Old Days” where we celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the Repeal of Prohition. Many of the greats all gathered in Washington, D. C. at The City Tavern Club to rejoice our fine craft!
It is the best thing, the most natural sweetner to hit!!! Check out the beauty I captured with the essence of the Spirit bird, Agave nectar, and Partida Anejo ~ aged to perfection after 18months in single-pass American Whiskey barrels.
