Steep hibiscus flowers in boiling water for 5 minutes; strain into a heatproof bowl set in a bowl of ice to speed cooling. Cool completely.

The Low-Down on Liqueur
You can use 8 hibiscus tea bags if you don’t have hibiscus flowers. Just steep in boiling water for 5 minutes.
Using liqueur (instead of liquor) lets you amp up cocktails without making them overly potent. Though often made with a rum or vodka base, liqueurs generally range from 15 percent to 55 percent alcohol by volume. (Liquors usually start at 40 percent by volume.)
