🍸🌸 Homemade Rhubarb Liqueur – Sweet, Tart & Perfect for Sipping 🌸🍸
A beautifully blushed, rhubarb-infused spirit that makes a stunning addition to cocktails, spritzers, or enjoyed on its own over ice. A great way to preserve rhubarb flavor into the cooler months!
Ingredients:
4 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
Enough Everclear (or another 151-proof grain alcohol) to cover the rhubarb
(Vodka or other neutral spirits can be used, but higher-proof alcohol yields a stronger infusion)
1 to 1½ cups simple syrup (adjust to taste)
Simple syrup = equal parts sugar and water, heated until sugar dissolves
Directions:
Prepare the Infusion:
Wash and chop rhubarb into ½-inch slices.
Place in a clean, large glass jar with a tight-fitting lid (quart or larger size).
Pour in enough Everclear (or vodka) to fully submerge the rhubarb.
Infuse:
Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place for 3–4 weeks.
Shake gently every few days to redistribute the rhubarb and encourage extraction.
Strain:
After 3–4 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean container.
Discard the solids or use them in a compote or jam.
Sweeten:
Stir in simple syrup to taste. Start with 1 cup and add more if desired.
Transfer to clean bottles or jars, seal, and refrigerate.
Store & Serve:
Let the finished liqueur rest for a few days to mellow, or enjoy right away.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 months. Serve chilled or over ice.
