Ingredients
For cocktail:
- 6 basil leaves
- 1 ounce fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 ounce rhubarb syrup
- 1-1/2 ounce vodka
- 3 dashes Fee Brothers rhubarb bitters
For rhubarb syrup:
- 4 cups chopped rhubarb
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
For cocktail:
- In a cocktail shaker add basil leaves, lemon juice, and rhubarb syrup.
- Gently muddle to bruise basil. You do not want to rip the basil apart in the shaker. Just gently release the basil flavor.
- Add in ice and vodka.
- Add shaker lid and shake until cold.
- Pour into a short cocktail glass and add more ice if needed.
- Add rhubarb bitters and give a quick stir.
For rhubarb syrup:
- Add all ingredients to a pot and bring to a boil.
- Lower to a simmer and cook till thick, about 20 minutes.
- Pour through a fine strainer, gently pushing the fruit to extract all the juice. I like to press a little firmer on my fruit so my syrup is more cloudy because more solids make it into my syrup. If you want a clearer syrup make sure to not press any of the solids through the strainer. Store refrigerated in a jar.
