Leahs Spiced Rhubarb Special Cold Toddy Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Divaliscious / All my dishes 1 year, 6 months ago This is a nice twist on using rhubarb as an adult drink - yes rhubarb. You can cook the rhubarb the night before or earlier in the day to allow it to cool, then enjoy this really nice twisty cocktail. This one is sure to impress all! The taste is really nice....

Ingredients

2 pounds rhubarb, cut into small pieces, no need to peel.

3 cups water

1 stick of cinnamon

4 whole cloves

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup orange juice

2 cups or less of ginger ale (diet ok too)

**1 cup sugar syrup:

1 cup sugar + 1 cup water

How to's are below.

1 cup orange flavored vodka - other flavors work well too!

fresh orange/lemon slices

Directions

**First make sugar syrup:

In pot, add 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water, stir over heat till sugar has been dissolved. Then bring to a boil, do not stir while boiling, and let boil for 5 minutes. You can then, let cool, put into a jar and keep in fridge until ready to use. This is great when making sweet tea, or other cocktails needing sugar syrup.

**Put rhubarb into pot and 3 cups water and spices into pot, and let simmer until rhubarb is tender - maybe 15 minutes. Then strain, reserving all the liquids.

To liquid, add cooler sugar syrup and fruit juices. Let chill in fridge.

When ready to serve it up, put ice into glasses, add desired vodka amount, then add chilled spiced rhubarb mix and top of with ginger ale. Add fresh slice of orange, and voila - something very different and delicious.
