The Sparkling Hibiscus Martini

This cocktail was inspired by some fun holiday hibiscus Santa hat treats from Wild Hibiscus.

I didn't get around to playing with them until after Christmas so I decided to turn them into a New Year's Eve cocktail garnish instead. Then I had to come up with a cocktail to go with them for New Year's Eve that included Champagne because I don't do New Year celebrations without Champagne!
The Sparkling Hibiscus Martini
1 Oz. Vodka 1 Oz. White Cranberry Juice 1 Oz. Champagne, Chilled 3/4 Oz. Hibiscus Syrup Juice of 1 Lime 1 Hibiscus Flower 1 Tbsp. Sweetened Cream Cheese Silver Sprinkles
GARNISH DIRECTIONS Add a teaspoon of powdered sugar and half a teaspoon of hibiscus syrup to a tablespoon of cream cheese. Dry the hibiscus flower with a paper towel then pipe in the cream cheese and dip in the silver sprinkles. Lay your loaded hibiscus flowers on parchment paper or wax paper and place in the freezer until solid. (If you don't freeze them they slip down the cocktail pick and dissolve into your martini!)
COCKTAIL DIRECTIONS Chill your martini glass in the freezer. Fill your cocktail shaker with ice then pour in the vodka, lime juice and the white cranberry juice and shake until chilled. Pour into your chilled martini glass, slowly add the hibiscus syrup (which will sink to the bottom) then top off with the Champagne. Skewer the cream cheese hibiscus flower onto a cocktail pick, add to your cocktail and serve.
Be careful, these slide down really easy, designated drivers are a good accompaniment!
Enjoy and Happy New Year's Eve Eve.
