Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1 cup chopped rhubarb
  • 1 1/2 oz vodka
  • 1 1/2 oz rhubarb syrup
  • 1 stalk of rhubarb
  • 1 oz advocaat
  • 2 1/2 oz lemonade

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the caster sugar and water. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add the chopped rhubarb to the saucepan, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes until the rhubarb is tender.
  3. Strain the rhubarb mixture through a sieve into a bowl, pressing gently to extract the juices. Return the mixture to the pan and boil until syrupy. Cool completely.
  4. Chill a cocktail glass in the freezer.
  5. Shake the vodka and 1 1/2 oz of rhubarb syrup with ice until mixed and chilled.
  6. Create small shreds of rhubarb using a vegetable peeler and place them in iced water to make them curl up.
  7. In a separate jug, whisk together the advocaat and lemonade with ice to lighten.
  8. Divide the vodka and rhubarb mixture between the glasses, straining through a small sieve to catch the ice.
  9. Carefully pour the advocaat mixture into each glass over an upside-down spoon so that it floats on the surface of the vodka syrup mixture.
  10. Drain the rhubarb shreds well and use them to garnish your cocktails.
