This creamy and thirst quenching rhubarb gin fizz is a wonderful way to stretch out the end of rhubarb season. Chop up the last rhubarb stalks you can get your hands on and simmer with water and sugar to create a bright, tangy rhubarb syrup that will last up to a month in the fridge.
This syrup is best used in the rhubarb gin fizz form with lemon, lime, a touch of cream and a frothy egg white. It's incredibly smooth and balanced, light and refreshing. But if you have leftovers, try a splash of the syrup with sparkling wine for a twist on a bellini, over yogurt for a fancy breakfast or stir a spoonful in your tea for a fresh change from honey.
Enjoy!
