This drink looks so refreshing! I'll definitely have to try this one out. In case I can't find Dried Hibiscus Flowers, is there anything I could use as a simple substitute?

I created this cocktail for a bartender competition sponsored by Bombay Sapphire and GQ Magazine. I unveiled this drink on Snapguide today not only to share a neat drink I made-but to showcase how social media and the bar industry can interact on various levels. By sharing this cocktail socially, an idea (recipe) becomes a self promoting entity.
