    Rhubarbe Happy Hour

    This hot weather has proved to be the perfect moment to crack open the new bottle of Rhubarbe Liqueur. We were offered this at the recent Thos Peatling summer wine tasting, along with a Barbados Rum Sixty Six and Taylor's Velvet Falernum... more of that later! The liqueur is quite simply like drinking sweet, liquid rhubarb. It's made by macerating (in alcohol) both green and pink rhubarb for two months. Delicate, light pink colour and with the smell of freshly cut rhubarb, it's sweet and sherberty and reminiscent of those childhood rhubarb and custard boiled sweets. Delicious over cracked ice, or try one of these cocktails below - all measures used are 1 oz, or use your own friendly measures, but remember, drink responsibly!

    1 measure Rhubarbe Liqueur
    1/2 measure lime juice
    1 1/2 measures gin
    1 measure soda water
    lime slices, for garnish

    Combine rhubarb syrup, lime juice, and gin in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.  Shake for 10 seconds and strain into a glass.  Top with the soda water.  Serve with lime slice.

    Rhubarb n’ Rye

    1 1/2 measures Rye Whiskey
    1/4 measure Rhubarb Liqueur

    Stir, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a curl of orange rind.

    Rhubarb Caipirinha

    2 measures Cachaca Cane Spirit
