Northfield Inn Rhubarb Punch image

When life gives you rhubarb . . . if you're Aglaia Stalb, you invent a tart, tasty punch to serve at your inn. "I happened to have this huge rhubarb plant and had no idea to do with it, so I started experimenting," says Stalb, who has operated the Northfield Inn, a restored Victorian mansion in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains, for almost 18 years. Guests enjoy this punch from wide porches with views of the Sugarbush Mountain Peaks and the village of Northfield.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my punch turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.

This punch was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I don't really like rhubarb. My friends seemed to enjoy it though.

I'm not usually a fan of rhubarb, but this punch was surprisingly good. The ginger ale really helped to balance out the tartness of the rhubarb.
