Instructions
Rhubarb Simple Syrup
- In a small sauce pan, combine chopped rhubarb, water and sugar. Bring to a boil while stirring, and then let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the mixture has thickened, strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheese cloth. The liquid is the simple syrup. The remaining pulp can be discarded or saved to use as a jam spread.
Rhubarb Collins Cocktail
- Fill a glass with ice, and add the gin, lemon juice, soda water and cooled rhubarb simple syrup. Stir to combine and serve immediately.
Notes
*To make a nonalcoholic version, omit the gin and double the soda water.
*This batch of simple syrup makes about 1/2, enough for 3 cocktails.
