Recipe for rhubarb gt (gin & tonic)

Delicious and delightful recipe for a Gin & Tonic with homemade rhubarb gin.

We have the recipe from the book: “Gin – Your Guide to the Best Taste Experiences“, written by Jesper Schmidt. He writes the following about it:

“A G&T that tastes tart and sweet like a Danish summer. The homemade rhubarb gin has an elegant sharpness that goes really well with the sun-ripened strawberries, which also decorate the glass. The drink is mixed here with an Original Berries Tonic, which is a mild and smooth tonic with notes of lavender, citrus, and red berries.”

Notes

Rhubarb Gin Recipe:

Rhubarb is not just rhubarb. There are over 70 different varieties, and they can taste very different. In this recipe, two types of rhubarb are used: Wine Rhubarb, which is dark red with a strong fragrance and strawberry flavor notes, giving the gin a beautiful red color. And Victoria Rhubarb, which is light pink, has a floral scent, and pineapple flavor notes, adding both some sweetness and acidity to the gin. But use the rhubarb you can get. You may add some sugar if you prefer a slightly sweeter gin. This gin has a good balance between acidity and fruit, giving cocktails a fresh and clear taste of rhubarb.It is used in the above Rhubarb G&T. Also, try using it with a citrus-forward tonic or some mashed strawberries.
Infusion time 5 days and requires a 1-liter glass with a tight-fitting lid.
Ingredients:

• 1 bottle of gin (70 cl)
• 100 g wine rhubarb
• 100 g Victoria rhubarb
• optional 50 g sugar

Rinse the rhubarb and cut it into slices. Place them in your container and add the gin. Shake the container well and place it in the fridge for 5 days. Shake it every day. Strain out the rhubarb and put the gin back in the fridge.The gin can be kept in the fridge for about 6 months.
