Ingredients

FOR THE HIBISCUS GINGER SYRUP

• 1/2 cup dried hibiscus petals
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave (optional, for extra sweetness)

TO ASSEMBLE SPRITZ

• 4 cups sparkling water or club soda, chilled
• 1 cup fresh pomelo segments, peeled
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
• Thin pomelo or lime slices, for garnish

Instructions

1. Combine sugar, water, hibiscus petals, and sliced ginger in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 5 minutes to infuse flavors.
3. Remove from heat and stir in honey or agave if using. Let syrup cool to room temperature, then strain into a clean jar. Discard solids.
4. Fill four glasses with ice and divide pomelo segments among them.
5. Add 2 tablespoons of hibiscus ginger syrup to each glass (adjust to taste).
6. Top each glass with 1 cup sparkling water and gently stir to combine.
7. Garnish with mint sprigs and thin citrus slices. Serve immediately and enjoy.
8. Refrigerate any unused syrup for up to 1 week.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover syrup in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week. Pomelo segments will stay fresh in an airtight container for 1–2 days.

For a faster chill, refrigerate your syrup before mixing. Swap pomelo for grapefruit or blood orange segments if unavailable. If you prefer a sweeter spritz, add an extra tablespoon of honey or agave to the syrup.

Leftover syrup keeps for up to a week in a sealed jar refrigerated. Assemble just before serving to preserve fizz—store pre-peeled pomelo segments in an airtight container separately for up to two days.
