It is officially summer is here in the southern hemisphere. Extended sunny days, hot sun and a desire to spend afternoons sipping cool refreshing beverages whilst relaxing. Is that not what summer is for?
The Rhubarb Gingerbeer cocktail is a drink just worth such an occasion.
It’s an uncomplicated, non muddled drink that leans towards just outrageously simple and yet delicious..
The rhubarb syrup used in the recipe is from an earlier post and adds a wonderfully subtle sweet rhubarb flavour, whilst imparting the glamorous pink hue. The lime juice compliments and brings the 2 main features together. The rhubarb and the ginger beer are both complimented by the tart citrus.
