Ingredients

Rhubarb Simple Syrup

  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup chopped rhubarb

Cocktail

  • 2 ounces Bourbon
  • ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice
  • 1 ounce rhubarb simple syrup
  • Piece of rhubarb for garnish (optional)

Instructions

For the Rhubarb Simple Syrup:

  • Add honey, water, and rhubarb to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then turn heat to low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once honey has dissolved and rhubarb has started break down, remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Once cool, strain into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.

For the Rhubarb Bourbon Sour:

  • Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice. Shake.
  • Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice.
  • Add a piece of rhubarb as a garnish if desired.

Notes

  • If you are sensitive to gluten-grain-based bourbon, Hudson Baby Bourbon is a 100% corn-based and could be a good alternative.
  • Use extra stalks or make a rhubarb ribbon as a garnish. You can also add a lemon wheel.
  • Store the extra simple syrup in an airtight, sterilized container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
