Product details
Sapling Raspberry & Hibiscus Vodka is a fruit-and-floral flavoured vodka from Sapling Spirits, combining raspberry and hibiscus flowers with a British wheat vodka at 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle. Hibiscus brings a tart, cranberry-like edge that keeps the raspberry from tasting jammy. The brand made this raspberry and hibiscus vodka for sipping neat or mixing with tonic. It suits gin and tonic drinkers who want something fruitier, and anyone planning summer drinks in the garden.
Raspberry & Hibiscus tasting notes
- Nose: Fresh raspberries, hibiscus tea and a hint of rose.
- Palate: Bright red berry fruit balanced by tart floral notes and soft wheat.
- Finish: Refreshing and lightly tangy, with lingering raspberry.
How to drink Sapling Raspberry & Hibiscus
Chill the bottle and pour it over ice in a large copa glass, or sip 25 ml neat and cold to taste the hibiscus clearly. It goes well with berry pavlova, white chocolate, Eton mess and summer fruit tarts. Serve it at a garden party, a summer birthday or a relaxed Sunday afternoon with friends.
Mixing Sapling Raspberry & Hibiscus
- Raspberry & Hibiscus Tonic: 50 ml over ice in a large copa glass, topped with 150 ml light tonic water and a few fresh raspberries.
- Raspberry Mojito: 50 ml vodka, six mint leaves, 20 ml lime juice and 10 ml sugar syrup over crushed ice, topped with 50 ml soda water.

How it compares
Compared with the unflavoured Sapling Climate Positive Vodka, this version is fruitier and more aromatic, while the base spirit stays the same. Lanique Rose Petal Liqueur Spirit is more perfumed and rose-led, at a slightly lower 39%, whereas Sapling keeps the floral side in the background behind the berries.
Good to know
For anyone choosing a raspberry vodka as a present, the bright flavour and Sapling's tree-planting story make an easy talking point. Wodka Company ships Sapling Raspberry & Hibiscus Vodka 70cl throughout the UK.
Frequently asked questions
What does hibiscus add to Sapling Raspberry & Hibiscus Vodka?
Hibiscus flowers bring a sharp, tea-like tartness and a floral note. In Sapling Raspberry & Hibiscus Vodka that acidity balances the ripe raspberry, so the spirit tastes fresh and lively rather than sugary.
Can you drink Sapling Raspberry & Hibiscus Vodka neat?
Yes, Sapling Raspberry & Hibiscus Vodka is made for sipping neat as well as mixing. Serve it well chilled in a small glass, or over one large ice cube, so the raspberry and floral aromas stay clear.
What else can you mix with Sapling Raspberry & Hibiscus Vodka besides tonic?
Sapling Raspberry & Hibiscus Vodka works well with cloudy lemonade: 50 ml over ice, 120 ml lemonade and a squeeze of lime. Ginger ale adds gentle spice, while a splash of cranberry juice turns it into a fruity twist on a Cosmopolitan.
