This delicious liqueur recipe is easy to make and adds a delightful flavor to any vodka cocktail. This has such an intense aroma without added sugars or artificial flavors. The result is a clean, tart spirit that tastes just like summer.

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
  • a large mason jar


Optional ingredients:


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

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!
