Rhubarb Ginger No Gin Fizz Recipes

Steps:

• Put the rhubarb, the rhubarb syrup, sugar, stem ginger and 1 tbsp water in a small pan and bring to a gentle simmer, breaking up the rhubarb with a back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 1 hr. Strain into a jug, pressing the rhubarb through to release all the juice. Discard the solids and leave to cool completely. Will keep, chilled, for up to two days.
• Put 1 tbsp of the prepared rhubarb ginger syrup into the bottom of four champagne flutes. Divide the lime juice between the glasses, about 1 tsp each. Add the non alcoholic rhubarb & ginger flavour gin to each glass and stir with a bar spoon or teaspoon. Top the flutes up with the chilled nosecco and put a piece of crystallised ginger onto the side of each glass to serve.

Steps:

• Wash the rhubarb, trim the stalks and discard the base and any leaves. Cut the stalks into 3cm lengths. Put in a large jar with the sugar. Shake everything around, put the lid on and leave overnight. The sugar will draw the juice out of the rhubarb.
• After 24 hrs, add the gin, seal and shake everything around. Leave for about 4 weeks before drinking. You can strain the liquor off through a muslin-lined sieve and transfer to a bottle, but I often just leave the rhubarb and booze in the jar and ladle it into drinks that way. Over time the rhubarb and the gin go a much paler colour - this doesn't look as dramatic. The upside is you that have to get through it fairly quickly!

Steps:

• First, make the cordial. Tip the sugar and 75ml water into a saucepan set over a medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then add the lemon zest and juice, rhubarb and ginger. Cook until the rhubarb starts to break down and collapse, about 5-10 mins. Pour into a heatproof jug through a fine mesh sieve and set aside to cool. (You will make enough cordial for two drinks.)
• Pour the gin into an ice-filled coupe glass, then stir in 50ml of the cordial. Top up with sparkling wine. Twist the strip of rhubarb around a finger to curl, if using, then drop into the drink to garnish.

Steps:

• Combine gin, syrup, and lemon juice in a pitcher and stir to combine. Divide among ice-filled glasses and top off each with 2 ounces wine. Stir gently and garnish with lemon rounds. Serve immediately.
