Citrus and Hibiscus Cocktail

(12)
"Cheers Mamas! I shared a delicious citrus and hibiscus cocktail and mocktail recipe! I even made edible flower ice cubes to spruce the cocktail up! The mocktail has blood orange juice, lemon juice and a homemade hibiscus and rose syrup made with @inpursuitoftea hibiscus tea and @rosedoseofficial rose petals! I added a splash of @21seeds Grapefruit and Hibiscus tequila, which is women owned and distilled, to the cocktail."
