GREAT VINEGAR. MOTHER MADE US DO IT. ®

Desert Hibiscus Honey Vinegar

$13.00

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. 

Quick ways to use it

Everyday vinaigrette: 1 part Desert Hibiscus Honey Vinegar to 2 or 3 parts extra-virgin olive oil with salt.
Roasted roots: Toss warm carrots or beets with a spoonful for gloss and gentle sweetness.
Spritz hour: Build a Honey Hibiscus Spritz or top a shrub with seltzer for a bright refresher.

Desert Hibiscus Honey Vinegar FAQs

What does hibiscus add to vinegar?

A floral, slightly tangy note with a subtle berry-like sweetness and a striking deep red color that lifts dressings and drinks. 

What makes this a honey vinegar?

It begins as mead and is finished with raw clover honey after aging, which gives gentle honey aromatics without turning the vinegar sugary. 

How sweet it is!

Still vinegar forward and bright. The honey and hibiscus read as balanced, sweet tang instead of dessert-level sweetness. 

What can I use it on?

Vinaigrettes, roasted roots, slaws, berries, shrubs, and spritzes. It is especially good where you would normally add a little sugar for balance. 

What size and acidity are listed?

A 250 ml bottle with a minimum 4.25 percent acidity.

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.
