Introduction

The ever-popular Cosmopolitan is basically a kamikaze tinted pink with cranberry juice. Rhubarb syrup colors and flavors this Cosmo for a delicious seasonal cocktail. For a non-alcoholic drink, pair rhubarb syrup with seltzer water for a refreshing soda.

Ingredients

1. 2 shots vodka (Monopolowa is nicely neutral)
2. ⅔ cup freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice
3. ⅓ cup rhubarb syrup
4. Lime half-moons for garnish

Steps

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then pour in the vodka, the citrus juice, and the rhubarb syrup. Shake vigorously, then strain into two martini glasses. Garnish with half-moons of lime.
