This refreshing drink calls for rhubarb-infused simple syrup for flavor and sweetness, tart lemon juice as a foil to the sweetness, gin for depth and strength, topped up with sparkling wine. Perfect for the spring and summer, this is a little like a fruity French 75, on the rocks.
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 5 mins
Yields: 4 - 6 cocktails
Ingredients
8 ounces gin (we use Gordon’s, but Hendrick’s would also be good)
9 ounces rhubarb syrup
½ cup fresh lemon juice
12 ounces cold Prosecco
ice
Directions
1Put the gin, rhubarb syrup and lemon juice in a pitcher. Stir to combine. Pour into glasses filled with ice, and top with Prosecco
2To make the syrup, place one cup of sugar, one cup of water and one half cup of finely chopped rhubarb in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and let cook for 5 minutes, or until rhubarb is tender. Strain into a container; will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator.
