Rhubarb gin and tonic in a glass with a jar of rhubarb behind

Ingredients

500g trimmed rhubarb, cut into small chunks
200g sugar
700ml gin
a dash (optional) sugar syrup

Method

STEP 1
Put the rhubarb chunks, sugar and gin in a glass jar with a lid. Seal and give the jar a good shake. Store in a cool, dark place for four weeks.
STEP 2
Taste regularly and, when you’re happy (add some sugar syrup for a sweeter result), strain out the rhubarb – save the boozy fruit for compote or swirling into ice cream. Rhubarb gin is delicious neat over ice, or use in G&Ts, sours and negronis.
