    🍸 Making Martinis with Rhubarb

    When it comes to martinis, my favorites are ones that have pucker, like this Dill Pickle Martini, Lemon Drop Martini, or this Rhubarb Martini. I highly recommend you try them all!

    You might think at first that a rhubarb martini sounds odd, but if you love rhubarb as much as I do, you will be happy you tried this and enjoy them all summer long!

    The rhubarb mixture is stewed with a sweetener, then strained to remove the solids. What you have left is a pretty pink, slightly sweet and tangy rhubarb syrup.

    Once the syrup is made, it can be stored in the fridge and taken out to make individual martinis as desired!

    When ready to serve the rhubarb martini, fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add the syrup, vodka, and lime juice and shake vigorously!

    📖 Variations

    • Use classic Monkfruit 1:1 in place of the sugar for a keto adult beverage.
    • Substitute white rum for the vodka.
    • When making the rhubarb syrup, substitute 1 cup of strawberries for 1 cup of rhubarb for a strawberry rhubarb martini.
    • Use lemon juice instead of lime.
    • Skip the rhubarb syrup and use 2 tablespoons of rhubarb sauce in place of the syrup. The solids will strain when pouring the drink through the cocktail shaker.
    • Substitute lemon juice for the lime juice.
