Most rhubarb recipes involve baking, so this is something different. It's seasonal, simple and straightforward but also an absolute delight. If you belong to a CSA, shop at a farmer's market or are simply just drawn to that bright pink, mysterious vegetable this time of year, here is your new go-to seasonal cocktail recipe. You can also mix the rhubarb syrup into seltzer or use it in mocktails and other cocktails.
