Hibiscus Tea Collins

This year cocktails made with tea are all the rage. It seems that every ready-to-drink canned cocktail company is coming out with their version of spiked tea in every flavor under the sun. And why not? Iced tea is a summer favorite and the range of enjoyment you can get from various blends is endless. Today we share with you our recipe for the Hibiscus Tea Collins. Hibiscus tea has a wonderful mouthwatering sweet-tart nature that lends itself beautifully to cocktails. We balance the tea with a bit of pineapple juice, touch of honey and splash of soda for a refreshing tall drink that absolutely screams summer. So, dive into the season and whip yourself up a batch of Hibiscus Tea Collins cocktails.
