Desert Hibiscus Honey Vinegar
Tart candy energy with real honey soul
Desert Hibiscus Honey Vinegar starts as small-batch mead, then co-ferments with Desert Hibiscus from our friends at Burlap & Barrel and fresh ginger. After aging, it is finished with raw clover honey for a lively sweet-tart snap and a glow that reads refreshing rather than syrupy. It is the bottle you reach for when you want lift, color, and an unmistakable hibiscus sparkle.
Flavor profile
Earthy and bright with a hint of ginger spice, a floral hibiscus note, and a sweet and tangy finish. Think tart candy rewritten for grown-up cooking.
Why cooks love it
It makes everyday food taste composed. A splash sharpens dressings, flatters roasted roots, and turns seltzer into an instant spritz. Reviews call it balanced and summer-friendly, the kind of vinegar that replaces added sugar in slaws and fruity salads.

Worth Waiting For
Modern vinegars have lost their way, so we stepped back in time to recreate a process from 1823. Our equipment doesn’t exist anymore so we remade it in partnership with local universities.
After slow fermentation our vinegars are barrel aged before being hand bottled raw and unfiltered. It all takes a lot more time and care but we think the results are spectacular. I hope you will too.
