Rhubarb Cosmopolitan & Cosmopolitan on the Rocks
I am not really a Cosmo fan, I’ll normally leave it to the Sex and the City girls. However, here are a couple nice alternatives to mix things up in anticipation of summer.
Rhubarb Cosmo: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice shake together 60ml vodka, 25ml lemon juice (or substitute Japanese Yuzu for a more subtle flavour), and 60ml rhubarb syrup*. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
Cosmo on the Rocks: In a tumbler filled with ice pour 45ml vodka, 25ml cointreau, 25ml cranberry juice, 15ml lime juice and stir.
* To make the syrup place 1 cup of sugar with 150g chopped rhubarb in a pot and bring to a boil, then simmer till the syrup thickens and turns pink - around 20 minutes, strain through a fine mesh into a jar and chill at room temperature before storing in the fridge. The remaining rhubarb pieces make a delicious dessert.
