Hibiscus Raspberry Cooler Drink

June 27, 2014 by naivecookcooks 44 Comments

Hibiscus Raspberry Cooler Drink made with chilled green tea! 

Hibiscus Raspberry Cooler Drink

Drinks like these are what makes summers bearable and enjoyable. With 4th of july only a week away, all I can think of  is summer drinks and lots & lots of food. Lately I have been on a roll with my crazy drinks and I almost every weekend end up whipping some crazy mocktail or cocktail.  Remember that spicy jalapeno-watermelon lemonade or that refreshing pineapple agua-fresca!

This is my new favorite and I believe it will be yours too. Long time back I had something similar at starbucks. It was very refreshing but I wasn’t too impressed as it was kind of way too sweet for my taste. So here is my version. Don’t compare it with the version starbucks sells as it is a lot different. It is all you want your summer drink to be – tangy from freshly made hibiscus syrup with dried hibiscus flowers, earthy from freshly steeped green tea and with a little bite with frozen raspberries.

Hibiscus Raspberry Cooler Drink

You just can’t stop at one. Believe me!

    Oh wow, this looks so beautiful! It has been 100+ degrees for about 3 weeks straight where I live and this looks like the perfect drink to help cool me down! I’ll take ten of them please 🙂

    I know which kind of starbuks drink you are talking about and I remember it was refreshing but, you’r right, definitely too sugary!
    I love your version! And I love its color too :)!
    I wish I could be in summer to enjoy it :)! I have to wait only 3 months or even less :) Luckily in Sydney in September it starts being warm :)!!!
    Have a lovely week end :*
