Ingredients
Rhubarb Ginger Syrup
1 pound rhubarb, chopped (about 4 cups)
2-inch piece (1.3 oz) ginger, unpeeled, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 cup sugar
For each cocktail:
1 1/2 ounces Rhubarb Ginger Syrup
1 ounce gin (I used Pinckney Bend Gin)
1 ounce Rhubarb Tea spirits (or gin)
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
Club soda
Instructions
Rhubarb Ginger Syrup
Combine rhubarb, ginger, raspberries and sugar in a medium saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until boiling, then reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is completely broken down and strands are visible, 6-10 minutes.
Using a fine mesh strainer, over a bowl, pour sauce through strainer. Press down with a rubber scraper to extract as much syrup as possible. I got about 1 cup syrup. Refrigerate until cold.
For 1 cocktail:
Combine Rhubarb Ginger Syrup, gin, Rhubarb spirits, lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Fill shaker 3 ice cubes and shake about 30 seconds. Strain into a highball-style glass. Top off with club soda.
