Fans of rhubarb will want to try this amazing Rhubarb Crumble! This post contains affiliate links. When you purchase through our links, we may earn a commission. One of my favourite things to do in the kitchen is to take a classic recipe and add my own twist. Same things applies to cocktails! So I took a look at one of my favourite warm weather drinks, the legendary Moscow Mule, and make it my own. How did I do that? I did it with a homemade rhubarb syrup, which is delicious all on it’s own! And if you don’t like Moscow mules, you can pour the syrup over your pancakes or waffles or drink it straight. That stuff is pure gold!
Rhubarb Syrup
There aren’t a lot of flavours quite as interesting as rhubarb, at least to me. It has such a unique taste with a gorgeous tartness that I’m always excited when it comes back into season. But unless you like crunching on a stalk of rhubarb, it can take a bit of attention before it is ready to use. Fortunately there are a few things you can do that will bring out the best in rhubarb, like this syrup or Rhubarb Curd! The syrup will last for quite a while when refrigerated after it is made. Sterilise the jar or bottle used for storage before filling with syrup.
Moscow Mule
Alright, let’s talk about these Moscow Mules. First of all, this cocktail is so refreshing you will want to have it nearby every time you are sitting outside basking in the sunlight. Secondly, it’s a long drink and because you fill your glass with ice it’s not crazy alcoholic but it IS crazy delicious. The rhubarb syrup definitely adds tangy and fragrant notes to this Moscow mule not to mention the most gorgeous blush of pink and that’s how I like it! A traditional Moscow Mule is made of vodka, lime juice and ginger beer. It is traditionally served in a copper mug, but this is just the work of a marketing agency and can be dropped. It’s a great drink and wonderfully refreshing, especially when served very cold! Rhubarb syrup adds a fun twist to this classic drink!
