I love this ginger hibiscus mocktail so much! It’s beautiful, has some weight in the flavor department thanks to the hibiscus, and is quite simple to put together. The most straightforward version of this mocktail is to use ginger beer. For a slightly more interesting mocktail, try making our homemade ginger syrup. Both versions are listed in the recipe.

Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Note for pregnant women: Hibiscus was one of the things on the do not consume list when I was pregnant. Unfortunately, as with many things on that list, there isn’t much research on how much hibiscus is safe during pregnancy. If you are planning on becoming pregnant or are pregnant, please research and talk with your doctor before consuming hibiscus. For another delicious mocktail without hibiscus, look at this Grapefruit Mocktail.
