Review

As the name suggests/promises, rhubarb-flavoured with the requisite gin and lime, harmonised by a splash of egg white and much improved by bitters.

My first try of this delicious cocktail was already a twist out of practical reasons. Instead of egg white I used a rhubarb syrup which has been cooked with pectin. At least the mouthfeel should be similar 😉.
