Rhubarb gin

by GBC Kitchen
Item 1 of 1
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Something magical happens when you steep pieces of tangy rhubarb in gin. The pink colour leeches into the spirit, resulting in a seriously tasty tipple that's refreshing, sweet and full of flavour. Best of all, the recipe is incredible simple.

Rhubarb can contain different levels of sourness throughout the season, so taste and adjust sugar levels if needed. Using pink rhubarb stems will lend a nice pink colour to the gin. Add a vanilla pod if you fancy a gin that tastes a little like rhubarb and custard!
