Instructions
Rhubarb Simple Syrup
Start by making the rhubarb simple syrup. Heat a small saucepan on medium heat and add water and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Once the mixture comes to a boil, add chopped rhubarb. Cook for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer for 10 more minutes.
Strain out the rhubarb using a strainer. Let cool before using or storing.
Rhubarb Gin Cocktail
Fill a low ball glass ½-¾ full with ice. Add gin, rhubarb simple syrup, and top with club soda. Stir and adjust to taste. Garnish- If desired, use a vegetable peeler to peel rhubarb stalk. Wrap the rhubarb into a coil then stick a cocktail pick through the middle. Serve.
Store extra rhubarb syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month.
