Rhubarb Spritz
Seedlip is redefining the art of what to drink when you're not drinking with its nonalcoholic cocktail spirits such as Grove 42, a dry blend of distilled botanicals and extracts with orange and mandarin peel top notes and the clean, fresh zing of ginger and lemongrass. Before chopping the rhubarb to make the cordial, be sure to shave a few thin ribbons from the stalks to garnish your drinks.
Ingredients
For the rhubarb cordial:
- 3 stalks fresh rhubarb, chopped
- 1 cup (8 oz./250 g) superfine sugar
- 1 cup (8 fl. oz./250 ml) hot water
- 2 oz. (60 ml) Seedlip Grove 42
- 3 oz. (90 ml) Fever-Tree Aromatic Tonic Water
- 1 long, thin ribbon of rhubarb for garnish
Directions
To make the rhubarb cordial, in a bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar and hot water and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Let stand at room temperature for 2 hours. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
To assemble a drink, fill a wine glass with ice cubes. Add the Seedlip Grove 42 and 1/2 oz. (15 ml) of the rhubarb cordial to the glass. Add the tonic water and stir to combine. Garnish with the rhubarb ribbon and serve. Makes 1 drink.
