Rhubarb Ribbons
Whenever my Mom brings me fresh garden rhubarb, it’s hard to resist the desire to make more homemade liqueur with it— if you’re interested, scroll back to 6/26/25 for the full specs. It’s so tasty, seriously!
This recipe is fairly simple but refreshing and rhubarb-forward. I love the aquavit here (especially the strawberry, rhubarb, hibiscus, rose expression I used), and a little genever pairs well with the aquavit botanicals while adding a little malty sweetness. Ginger (bitters) and a touch of floral (tonic water) completes the build nicely.
Recipe
1.25oz Aquavit (@nordenaquavit, gifted)
0.5oz Genever (@bolscocktailsusa)
1oz Rhubarb liqueur
0.5oz Lemon juice
2 dashes Ginger bitters
3-4oz Tonic water (@dappledtonic, Floral expression)
Shake first five ingredients with ice until chilled, strain into highball glass with fresh ice and rhubarb ribbons. Top with tonic water and stir briefly to incorporate. Cheers!!
