Rhubarb gin cocktail

Rhubarb gin cocktail



My dears, the summer has finally arrived and so now we can spend the one or the other evening with good friends and a good cocktail on the balcony or in the garden. For this reason, I will show you in the next weeks a few summer drinks. The beginning makes a rhubarb gin cocktail. But you must hurry ... the rhubarb season is almost over.


For 2 drinks you need:


4 ounces (120 ml) gin
4,5 ounce (135 ml) rhubarb syrup (scroll down for recipe)
¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
6 ounces (180 ml) Prosecco


This is how you proceed:


Like every drink, also this is easy to prepare. You have only to put all the ingredients in a pitcher and to stir them. Pour in glasses and serve with ice and lemon slices.

And because I am so nice, I also show to you how to make the rhubarb syrup.


You need:


1 cup (250 ml) water
1 cup (200 g) sugar
1 ¼ cups (200 g) fresh rhubarb
1 vanilla bean, split and seeded


This is how you proceed:


Wash, clean and cut rhubarb into small pieces.

Add all the ingredients in a pot and bring to boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes over medium heat.

Remove from the stove, remove the vanilla bean and let it cool a bit, pass through a sieve or cloth, squeeze the juice and collect it.





Pour into a container and store for 1 week in the refrigerator. Only afterwards you can mix the cocktail.
