INGREDIENTS

  • 8 oz fresh rhubarb USDA
  • 0 3/4 cup tap water FNDDS
  • 0 1/3 cup truvia, sweet completed granulated sweetener
  • 0 1/2 fruit fresh lemon FNDDS
  • 6 fl oz gin FNDDS
  • 4 fl oz lemon juice, 100%, fresh squeezed FNDDS
  • 6 cup municipal tap ice cubes USDA
  • 16 fl oz sparkling water FNDDS

DIRECTIONS

Ingredient note: we recommend using Rose & Elderflower Gin for this recipe.


  1. Make rhubarb simple syrup: In a small pot over medium-high heat, stir together rhubarb, water, and sweetener. Juice the lemon into the pot, then add the spent lemon half. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes. 
  2. Into a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl, pour the rhubarb mixture. Use a spoon to gently press out as much fluid as possible and discard the solids. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until cool, at least 1 hour.
  3. To assemble each cocktail, into a cocktail shaker measure 2 fluid ounces rhubarb simple syrup, 1 ½ fluid ounces gin, 1 ounce lemon juice and a handful of ice. Shake until frosty on the exterior and strain into a tall Collins glass filled with ice. Top with sparkling water, about 4 fluid ounces and enjoy! One cocktail as described is one serving.

Cooking Tip

We love the rhubarb simple syrup developed for this recipe. Consider trying it with sparkling water for a non-alcoholic sipper, or drizzle over Greek yogurt or overnight oats for a perfectly spring fruit boost. It can last in the refrigerator for about 5 days, so it can be made in advance and used in a multitude of ways. Note that while we used a mix of stevia and erythritol for the sweetener, other granulated non-sugar sweeteners can be used. Just give the cooled simple syrup a taste and add liquid stevia or monkfruit to get your desired level of sweetness.
