A delicious summer cocktail! Mix with your favorite vodka or with your favorite wine for a summer sangria! I have so much rhubarb in my house right now I don't even know what to do with it all. One thing I knew however is that I DID NOT just want to make multiple pies or muffins... Needed to mix things up! My Nanny had mentioned that her friend had whipped up this treat and she had nothing but amazing things to say about it! (She sadly couldn't remember anything about the ingredients except for the pink lemonade part) but I was able to work with that surprisingly.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cup chopped rhubarb
1 1/2 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1 can of pink lemonade frozen concentrate
2 fresh lemons
STEPS
Bring rhubarb, water and sugar to a boil.
Add the frozen lemonade.
Juice one of the lemons and add to mixture.
Allow mixture to chill.
Once chilled store or mix with a shot of vodka (or your favorite wine) 1 part lemon lime soda and 1 part mixture.
Garnish by slicing up the other lemon.
Enjoy responsibility!
Also an amazing non-alcoholic refreshing drink.
2025 Addition: This juice makes a great addition to a cold glass of sparkling water. Freezing them in an ice cube tray makes a perfect flavour enhancer to your water (sparkling or plain) and will keep it cold longer.
As time has gone on it seems like frozen concentrate has gone out of style (I had to dig to find the pink lemonade this year, so I think the next time I make the juice I will look at replacing the concentrate with something else- at the end of the day it’s just more juice after all LOL . Thinking it’ll be a combination of lemon and sugar mainly so shouldn’t prove to be too difficult.
