-2 oz. Shmidt Spirits Silver
-1/2 oz. 1:1 Simple syrup
-1 1/2 oz. Double strength hibiscus tea
-1/2 oz. Lime juice
-Four red grapes


Brew hibiscus tea to double strength, and allow to cool in refrigerator.

Muddle grapes in cocktail shaker.

Add in Silver, simple syrup, chilled tea, and lime juice.

Shake until chilled.

Serve neat and garnish with grapes if desired. Enjoy!


Given that our Silver rye whiskey is finished in a chardonnay barrel, it should come as no surprise that a cocktail made with muddled grapes ends up tasting so delicious. The addition of tart hibiscus to the mix makes this a brightly colored but deceptively subtle cocktail, lacking the overwhelming sweetness one might expect. A refreshing and daring drink.
