The Little Red Corvette is made with agave syrup, tequila, and hibiscus nectar. It was served in a double old-fashioned glass. The drink was a beautiful carmine pink at bottom, with the shade getting lighter the higher up it went.
Hibiscus is a great choice for a tequila cocktail. It has a strong punch that cuts through the equally strong agave syrup and tequila very well. This is a drink with flavors that demand your attention.
Final Verdict? A tad too sweet for it to be a masterpiece but it's close.

Most of my posts on nightlife feature a specific cocktail that I’ve enjoyed rather than focusing on the atmosphere of the bar, club, or wine bar that I’m patronizing. Largely, that’s because I care more about what’s in my glass than I do what’s playing on the speakers. However, I am far more likely to enjoy neighborhood dive bars and wine bars than I am a club or anywhere with loud music. I’ll still give the latter a try, and if the beverages are inventive and fun, I’ll be back no matter the soundtrack!
