rhubarb

I received some rhubarb in my Farm Fresh to You box (use code: WHIT1117 for $10 off!) and figured what better way to use it then in a fun seasonal cocktail?

First I created a Rhubarb Simple Syrup…

• 3-4 stalks of rhubarb, chopped
• 1/4 honey
• 1/2 water

1. Bring ingredients to a boil in a saucepan.
2. Once it comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Let cool for a bit and strain through a fine mesh sieve.
4. Store in the fridge until ready to use!

Now onto the cocktail…

Rhubarb Sour

• 2 oz vodka or gin
• 1 oz lemon juice
• 1/2 – 1 1/2 oz Rhubarb Simple Syrup (adjust depending to sweetness preference)
• Sprite/Club Soda/Lemon flavored Sparkling Water

1. Mix alcohol, lemon juice and simple syrup into an ice filled cocktail shaker.
2. Shake for a good 30 seconds, until shaker is frosty.
3. Strain into an ice filled tumblr and top with soda.

Happy Birthday Anita! I owe you this birthday drink! xo
