Making a Pinkglow Pineapple Hibiscus Mimosa is SUPER easy and you only need 3 things to make it with. A Pinkglow Pineapple, Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup and your favorite champagne.

Then you just carefully put one of the Hibiscus flowers with a little bit of the syrup in the bottom of each glass, cut and juice a quarter or two of your pineapple (depending on how much juice to champagne ratio you desire and how many glasses you are making), then top off with your favorite champagne! Garnish the side of the glass with a piece of Pinkglow Pineapple to make it look really fancy. Now you have a beautiful pink glass of bubbly to ring the new year in with! CHEERS!
