Rhubarb season is upon us-I've seen it popping up on grocery store shelves and in strawberry treats more and more over the last few weeks. I can't imagine better time to combine rhubarb with a bit of bubbly for a truly lovely spring cocktail, perfect for a celebratory brunch this weekend!
Rhubarb Mimosa
1 - 2 oz rhubarb syrup
1 sprig mint
sparkling wine
In a saucepan, combine 4 stalks of roughly copped rhubarb with 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is slightly broken down. Once syrupy, remove from heat and add mint sprig. Let sit for 1 minute, then strain and cool. Add 1 to 2 oz rhubarb syrup to taste to a Champagne flute, then top with sparkling wine.
Notes: This rhubarb-mint syrup would also be lovely with club soda or as a sweetener in a springtime margarita. Cheers!
