Hibiscus Rum Punch

A floral, spiced Rum highball adapted by Smuggler’s Cove from a traditional Caribbean Sorrel Rum Punch
The ginger and hibiscus in the Hibiscus Cordial gives a spicy and floral sweetness that pairs well with the funky, aromatic Aged Jamaican rum with lime and seltzer added to cut sweetness and add some bubbles
1.5 oz Blended Aged Jamaican Rum (Golden Devil Worthy Park, Appleton Estate Reserve, Plantation Jamaican, etc)
1 oz Hibiscus Cordial*
.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice
.33 oz Rich Simple Syrup (2:1)
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled Collins or highball glass with a few ice cubes. Top with 2 oz Club Soda or Seltzer (Topo Chico is also quite nice). Garnish with an edible hibiscus blossom (or a Swizzle stick as a more practical alternative) *Steep 1/2 tsp dried hibiscus blossom or hibiscus tea in 1.5 oz Lightly Aged Rum with a few cloves for 15 minutes before straining the hibiscus. Add a barspoon of ginger syrup, .25 oz Honey, .5 oz Rich Simple Syrup and stir until blended
