Hibiscus Cooler Hibiscus Cooler

I think in terms of love Jamaica (hibiscus) is pretty close up there with poblanos, and cilantro and grapefruit and queso….

You get the picture.

I spend a lot of my day on the computer, whether blogging, writing recipes, editing pictures or answering emails.  And to keep my spirits high I keep a cheery drink next to me at all times.  On mornings it is most likely a steaming cup of coffee or a colorful smoothie.  Around noon if  I feel a bit sluggish another round of coffee either warm or iced and a purty,purty drink.

Aguas, teas or coolers they sit beside me brightening my mood, cheering me on as I get through my day.

Tall, shiny glasses of joy I call them.  Don’t coolers just scream joy?

This cooler came together as I prepped lunch Jamaica leaves, cinnamon and star anise.  Add ice and top it off with sparkling water and presto, Joy!

    […] I spotted the hanky panky on instagram from a fellow food blogger who I adore and decided to give it a try.  I quickly mixed it up and was hooked.  I had my share of them since but I thought why not create a hanky panky featuring one of my favorite aguas – hibiscus. […]
