1.5 oz Hibiscus Syrup
5-6 oz Club Soda
1-2 mL of Humboldt Apothecary Tincture

Gently muddle your mint in the bottom of a tall glass. Add lime juice and hibiscus syrup. Stir gently to combine. Fill the glass with crushed or cubed ice. Slowly pour in club soda to fill up glass and gently stir to mix. Serve with a garnish of lime, mint, or candied hibiscus flowers, if desired.
