Hibiscus Spiked Champagne

I am coming down from a tequila binge and need something a little lighter in alcohol for today. I love champagne and my favorite thing to do is make it into a yummy drink. Also, my favorite entertaining idea is to elevate your typical glass of champagne with something special. One really easy way to do this is to add a simple syrup. It not only adds flavor but also brings color to the glass of champagne. This little addition will make your guests fill super special and it was a little effort on your part. Today I used hibiscus syrup and it is so beautiful in champagne. If you want to make your own, just use dried hibiscus flowers from my local Latin market which is called Flor de Jamaica. They are also available online at several stores including the MexGrocer. One thing to note is that this syrup is very pink and will stain surfaces like beets. So, be careful not to spill because it could be a nightmare. The syrup is beautiful and will make your champagne sparkle! Try making it to impress your guests or yourself!
