To make this rhubarb vodka, you will need:

• Fresh or Frozen rhubarb: You can use any kind of rhubarb, but I like how the super red rhubarb looks
• neutral grain spirit or vodka

Optional ingredients:

• Orange Peel: Orange peel add a wonderful citrus note to this infusion.

Step-by-step Instructions

Rhubarb liqueur is a delicious, slightly tart liquor perfect for adding a little extra flavor to any cocktail. The recipe below makes enough rhubarb liqueur to last you all year long!

 If you're looking for a way to add rhubarb to your home bar, look no further! This recipe is easy, delicious, and will make you the most famous person at your next party.

First things: wash and dry the rhubarb, then chop it into chunks. You know how much sugar you like in your drinks—so add that much to a large jar or bottle.

Next, fill the rest of the glass jar with vodka (! I recommend using good stuff here). Give your jar a good shake until all of the sugar dissolves, then screw on the lid tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 weeks, shaking or stirring every day or two.

After 2-3 weeks, strain the solids using cheesecloth or a coffee filter. Then pour into clean bottles, cap tightly, and store in a cool place away from sunlight for up to 2 years!

Storage

Rhubarb liqueur keeps for a long time! Keep it out of direct sunlight in a bottle with a screw-top lid. Check out some of my other recipes for classic liqueurs and infused syrups!
