Roselle Drink from Thailand

This roselle drink is from the same restaurant and same brand as the longan juice. It tastes a lot like rose, or a very light cranberry juice. While it's pretty good and refreshing, I wasn't a big fan of the somewhat artificial-tasting flowery flavor.

It did, however, beat out the longan juice in a side-by-side taste test. I couldn't help comparing since I ordered them both at the same time. I even got a second opinion who agreed that the roselle juice was the better pick out of the two.

Roselle is a type of hibiscus flower, which is used often for making teas and is made into a drink in many other countries as well, including Mexico where it is called "agua de Flor de Jamaica"
