Who can say no this showstopper? Hibiscus tea “rains” through the ice and combines with gin and a bold citrus burst of blue curaçao to give you the purple gin cocktail of your dreams. Best sipped whilst swaying along to Prince’s iconic hit: Purple Rain, Purple Rain, Purple Rain, Purple Rain..

Purple Rain

50ml gin (we used butterfly pea gin for extra colour)
15ml blue curaçao
30ml lime juice
15ml simple syrup
Hibiscus tea*, to top up
Rosemary, to garnish

Add all your ingredients except the hibiscus tea to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a highball glass with ice. Slowly pour the hibiscus tea over the back of a spoon into the drink, so it floats and creates a layer of colour. Garnish with rosemary and serve.

*To make your hibiscus tea, add 2g hibiscus flowers to 200ml hot water and infuse for one to two minutes. Strain and let cool before using. Alternatively, you can add the hibiscus to cold water and allow it to infuse overnight.
