4 cups water
4 cups hibiscus flowers
1/4 fresh cut lime
2 parts Hibiscus Syrup
2 parts fresh-squeezed orange juice
2 parts cranberry juice
1 part fresh lime juice

Steps:

SYRUP: Heat sugar and water in a large saucepan until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add flowers and bring to the boil. Lower heat and simmer gently until the volume of liquid is reduced by a third. Remove from heat and strain. Chill until cold before proceeding.
COSMO: Fill shaker with ice and muddle it with the fresh lime. Vigorously shake syrup, orange juice, cranberry juice and lime together until ice cold. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Drop one or two frozen cranberries in for garnish and service, or float a hibiscus petal on top.
