Chicken Free Berry Hibiscus Spritzer
This vibrant, jewel-toned spritzer is the kind of drink that makes any occasion feel a little more special, whether you're hosting a backyard gathering or just treating yourself on a Tuesday afternoon. Dried hibiscus flowers simmer with fresh or frozen berries to create a deeply colored, tart-sweet concentrate that's genuinely stunning in the glass. A touch of honey rounds out the tartness, while fresh lime juice adds a bright, citrusy lift that keeps every sip lively. Once the concentrate is chilled and topped with sparkling water, you get a beautifully effervescent drink with layers of floral and fruity flavor. Fresh mint and lime slices make it look like something you'd pay good money for at a restaurant, but it comes together with pantry staples and a single saucepan. The concentrate can be made ahead and kept in the fridge, so it's just as practical as it is pretty.
