Fruity, floral and prettily pink, the Rhubarbarella is a refreshing rhubarb cocktail with a hint of vintage charm. Full of bright flavour with delicate botanical notes, it’s made with rhubarb schnapps, lemon balm tea, rose syrup, lemon juice and a dash of bitters. Serve it short and stylish or pour it long over ice with a splash of fizzy water or sparkling wine for a more laid-back or celebratory twist.
If liked, run a little lemon juice around the rim of a coupe or martini glass then dip the glass into a saucer of caster sugar. Rose sugar is even better if you have it.
Place all the ingredients in a well sealed jar and shake.
50 ml rhubarb schnapps, 50 ml lemon balm tea, 10 drop angostura bitters, 2 tsp rose syrup, 1 squeeze of lemon juice, 4 ice cubes
Strain into the glass and top with a sprig of lemon balm or knot of rhubarb peel, if liked.
