Fill a cold glass (that holds at least 12 ounce) to the brim with ice. The glasses I used in the photos hold 14 ounces / 400 ml. I thought it was a good ratio of gin to tonic water when you account for the ice, but you can use a larger or smaller glass depending on how strong you want your cocktail.
Add in the gin, lemon juice, hibiscus syrup. Top with tonic water. Give everything a stir. See recipe notes for tips on how to stir a cocktail.
Slide the two lemon slices into the drink, against the glass. Top with a hibiscus flower.
