Rhubarbie
“ Come on Barbie Lets Go Party “
You guys must remember this song and we thought our drink being so pink and fun just called out to be made into a Barbie drink. The new film is out soon so this ties in perfectly. We actually made this drink last summer and have been saving it till the perfect time. I think it was about the same time we began to think about a food blog. We had a friend that gave us some homegrown rhubarb and this along with a cake is what we came up with. Please don’t let the bright colour of this drink put you off it is really delicious, but a word of warning they are stronger than they look take it from people that know LOL
The Syrup
600g rhubarb
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 cup water
Wash the rhubarb, cut of the ends then chop into roughly 1 inch pieces
Put the ingredients into a pan and simmer with a lid on for around 10minutes, or until the rhubarb has broken down
Strain through a sieve lined with a cheese cloth (or clean tea towel) into jug and leave to cool
The Drink
50ml gin
25ml elderflower liqueur
50ml rhubarb syrup
Juice of half a lemon (approx 20ml)
Granulated sugar to rim the glasses
Put the martini glasses upside in a shallow dish of water then dip into granulated sugar to rim the glass
Put all ingredients in a shaker full of ice and shake for 1 minute until the shaker is frosted
Strain into the sugar rimmed glasses and enjoy!
