To make the rhubarb simple syrup

To make the rhubarb gin cocktail
  1. Make a delicious refreshing gin cocktail in just a few minutes! It's the perfect summer drink.
  2. Fill highball glass or cocktail glass with ice cubes. This will help keep your cocktail chilled. PRO TIP- You can also use a cocktail jigger to mix and chill your drink.
  3. Pour 2 ounces of gin into the glass. Adjust the amount of gin based on your preference for a stronger or milder cocktail.
  4. Add ½ ounce of the rhubarb syrup to the glass.
  5. Stir the mixture gently with a cocktail spoon or straw to combine the gin and simple syrup.
  6. Top off the glass with 3-4 ounces of ginger beer. Ginger beer adds a refreshing and slightly spicy kick to the cocktail.
  7. Give the cocktail a final stir to incorporate all the ingredients.
  8. If desired, garnish the cocktail with some shaved rhubarb, a lime wedge. Squeezing a bit of citrus juice into the drink can enhance the flavors even further.
  9. Serve and enjoy your rhubarb ginger cocktail! Sip slowly and savor the delightful combination of flavors.
