Serves 10

Ingredients

Rhubarb
2 cups, chopped
Fresh ginger
1 cup, sliced
Granulated sugar
1 cup
Gin
4 cups

Instructions

  1. In a large sterilized jar, combine the chopped rhubarb, sliced ginger, and granulated sugar. Stir gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
  2. Pour the gin over the rhubarb and ginger mixture, ensuring that all the ingredients are fully submerged in the liquid.
  3. Seal the jar tightly and give it a good shake to help dissolve the sugar and mix the flavors.
  4. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to encourage the infusion process.
  5. After 2 weeks, strain the gin through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the rhubarb and ginger solids, pressing gently to extract all the flavors.
  6. Transfer the infused gin into a clean bottle or jar for storage. For best results, let it sit for an additional week to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve the rhubarb and ginger gin over ice, garnished with a slice of fresh rhubarb or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of elegance.

Tips

  • 💡 For a sweeter drink, adjust the sugar to your taste during the infusion process.
  • 💡 Experiment with adding other herbs like basil or thyme for a unique twist.
  • 💡 This gin can also be used as a base for cocktails such as spritzers or gin and tonics.
