Rhubarb Cocktails

 

Take a cue from early-spring produce to devise a cocktail. Rhubarb’s bitter, tangy taste, when matched with sweet components, makes for a delightful drink. Mixologists enjoy tinkering with the stalks after rhubarb pops up out of the soil not long after the last frost of the winter season. Both of these cocktails would pair nicely with salads of greens, or grilled fare such as chicken.
