sunday recipe: rhubarb margarita


I think it's safe to say that if you attach the word 'margarita' to pretty much anything, I am one happy lady.

The Rhubarb Margarita

2 tablespoons Rhubarb Mixer (see recipe below)
1 ounce tequila
1 juicy lime
Ice
Sugar or Salt-rimmed glasses

For each drink: combine the Rhubarb Mixer, tequila, and lime juice in a martini shaker or stir together in a small bowl. Strain into a salt-rimmed glass and add a cube or two of ice. Delicious!

Rhubarb Mixer:
1 cup thinly sliced rhubarb
3 tablespoons agave nectar
½ cup water

Make the Rhubarb Mixer by placing the sliced rhubarb in a small sauce pan with the water and agave nectar. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat until the rhubarb comes apart completely, and the liquid becomes quite syrupy. You should end up with about 1 cup.

  3. Rhubarb. Is. Fabulous. I might have to make a rhubarb glaze with that recipe (perhaps slightly modified) for dessert purposes. Thanks!

  4. funny coincidence...the farmers at my market had a sign up this weekend with a recipe for a "rhubarbarita" although i think theirs just involved blending rhubarb stalks with ice and rum...i didn't look at it that closely though.
