Categories     Cocktail Party     Lemon

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 pounds rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup turbinado sugar
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
36 ounces sparkling water or prosecco
6 lime wedges

Steps:

  • 1Place the rhubarb, sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan. Cover and place over medium heat. Simmer until the rhubarb is soft enough to mash with the back of a spoon -- then mash it! Stir in the vanilla. 2Pass the rhubarb mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much syrup as possible. You should have 3/4 cup syrup. 3Fill 6 tumblers with ice. Add 2 tablespoons of syrup to each glass. Top with sparkling water (or prosecco). Squeeze a lime wedge into each glass. Give each drink a stir. Then toast to your thirst and happiness.

Tips:

  • Select fresh and crisp rhubarb: Choose firm, brightly colored stalks with minimal blemishes for the best flavor.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends and wash the stalks thoroughly. Cut them into small pieces for easier juicing.
  • Use a blender or juicer: If you have a juicer, use it to extract the juice from the rhubarb. If not, blend the rhubarb pieces with a little water and strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Adjust the sweetness: The amount of sugar or honey you add will depend on your personal preference. Taste the rhubarb juice and adjust the sweetness accordingly.
  • Chill and serve: For a refreshing spritzer, chill the rhubarb juice and soda water separately before mixing. Serve over ice with a garnish of lemon or lime.

Conclusion:

The rhubarb spritzer is a delightful and refreshing drink that combines the tangy flavor of rhubarb with the fizz of soda water.
