Instructions
- Begin by preparing the simple syrup if you don't have it on hand. In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water (1 cup each). Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Allow it to cool before using.

- Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds to ensure the mixture is well combined and chilled.
- Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice, ensuring to leave any rhubarb pulp behind in the shaker.
- Garnish with a lemon twist to add a touch of elegance and a hint of citrus aroma.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful balance of flavors!
Tips

- Experiment with different spirits such as gin or vodka for a unique twist on the classic Rhubarb Sour.
- Consider adding a splash of club soda for a fizzy variation.
