THE RHUBARB MARTINI
Plus my recipe for making your own, fresh, Rhubarb Juice!
Ingredients: Vodka, Rhubarb Juice, Lime Juice, Sugar Crystals, Stalk of Rhubarb
I love making martinis with fresh, seasonal ingredients and, in Spring, rhubarb starts to show up at the farmer's markets and the grocery aisles. I was never exposed to rhubarb as a child and when I was in my early adulthood I decided to try a piece of strawberry-rhubarb pie. I hated it.
What I didn't understand at the time was it was the flavor of the cooked strawberries that I disliked as well as their texture. I tried rhubarb again in a completely different dish and loved the tartness and the flavor. When I saw the fresh rhubarb coming out this year I thought it might make a really nice martini. I was right.
The Rhubarb Martini is absolutely perfect as a cocktail - tart, slightly sweet and very fresh tasting. It's a truly fun and unique cocktail experience! It takes a little work - you have to cook the rhubarb and then turn it into juice BUT triple your batch and freeze the leftovers for the future and it's worth the work.
Here's my recipe for home made, fresh Rhubarb Juice.
DO NOT EAT OR COOK THE LEAVES as they are toxic in large quantities. Rhubarb is a great source for Vitamin C, fiber and calcium! I'm thinking of trying a Rhubarb Vodka Infusion - what do you think, should I?
