Hibiscus Tea Whisky Highball: 4 ingredients, 125 ml soda
↓ Jump to recipeQuick answer
The Hibiscus Tea Whisky Cocktail is 30 ml Swa Hibiscus Tea syrup and 60 ml light whisky shaken with ice, then topped with 125 ml soda and 5 ml lime juice. It is simple and elegant, designed to work with premium whiskies.
Why does this recipe work?
The tart hibiscus and gentle tea notes sit well against whisky, and lime brightens the drink. It is a natural way to add colour and fruit without overpowering the spirit.
Where does it fit on a bar menu?
The build has only four ingredients, so it is easy to scale for a whisky-focused bar or an event. Choose a lighter whisky so the hibiscus stays audible.

What kind of whisky suits this?
The original uses a light whisky. A smooth blended or lighter single malt lets the hibiscus come through.
Can I make it a mocktail?
Yes. Remove the whisky and use more soda; the syrup also works as a simple iced tea.
Is it shaken or stirred?
The recipe shakes the syrup and whisky with ice, then tops with soda and lime so the fizz stays intact.
