Let’s make some Rhubarb Cosmos!
If you’re a fan of sweet and sour cocktails, you’re in for a treat! This Rhubarb Cosmopolitan recipe is a delightful twist on the classic Cosmo, featuring the tartness of rhubarb and the freshness of gin. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these gorgeous pink drinks and impress your guests (or just treat yourself). Let’s get shaking!
I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical when I first heard about a rhubarb cocktail. I mean, isn’t rhubarb supposed to be in pies and crumbles, not drinks? But let me tell you, this Rhubarb Cosmo blew my mind! The sweetness of the cordial perfectly balances the tartness of the lemon and the botanicals of the gin. And that rhubarb ribbon on top? So pretty and Instagram-worthy. Trust me, you’ll want to make these all summer long.
Rhubarb Cosmopolitan Ingredients:
2 oz gin
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz rhubarb cordial
Rhubarb ribbon, for garnish
Rhubarb Cosmo Instructions:
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add the gin, lemon juice, and rhubarb cordial to the shaker.
Shake well until the shaker is frosty and cold.
Strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass.
To make a rhubarb ribbon, take a long strip of rhubarb and use a vegetable peeler to create a thin, curly ribbon. Place the ribbon on top of the cocktail for garnish.
Serve and enjoy!
Note: If you don’t have rhubarb cordial on hand, you can make your own by simmering chopped rhubarb with sugar and water until the rhubarb has broken down and the mixture has thickened. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Let cool before using in the cocktail.
This Rhubarb Cosmopolitan recipe is a must-try for anyone who loves fruity, flavorful cocktails. Whether you’re hosting a fancy cocktail party or just want to treat yourself after a long day, this drink is sure to please. And don’t worry if you don’t have rhubarb cordial on hand – it’s easy to make your own with fresh rhubarb and a bit of sugar. So go ahead, shake up a batch of these pink beauties and enjoy the taste of summer in a glass!
