Rhubarb Gin And Ginger

Interesting! All I can find in my area (SE Massachusetts) is rhubarb and ginger gin, not plain rhubarb gin, but I guess the rhubarb ginger gin would work well in this cocktail, anyway!

Used cardamom bitters in place of angostura, but otherwise made exactly as written.Delicious! But as someone else already commented, it was gone too soon.

This is a current favorite! Found it when looking for cocktails that call for Falernum, as I bought a big bottle of it a while back. I added slightly more lime juice to the drinks tonight, (unintentionally, but it was too little to keep and too much to throw away). I liked the bit of extra tartness.

My first time trying Suze! I’m drinking this as a nightcap instead of as an aperitif. May be a bit more bitter than intended, as I might have underdone the agave syrup and overdone the grapefruit bitters. Still tasty!

I liked this drink as written, although I didn’t have the exact brands of gin and limoncello called for. In Mr. Boston book, a similar drink is listed as “The Lemony Snicket Cocktail” and calls for 2-1:2 gin and a 1/2 oz each of limoncello, yellow Chartreuse, and fresh lemon juice.

We live in the Boston area, so we will have to have one of these (Cocktail of the Day) to commemorate the anniversary of the Molasses Flood on January 15th, for sure!

I know this drink is categorized as an aperitif, but it’s currently my favorite nightcap. Somehow I don’t have dry vermouth on hand, so have been using Noilly Prat Rouge in this drink and going heavy on the dashes of the two bitters.

I made rhubarb simple syrup so I was looking for cocktails to use it in. Thanks for posting this! I did think the 2 oz of simple syrup would make the drink too sweet and liked it with just 1 oz, but my husband would have liked it sweeter (not being a huge rhubarb fan to begin with) so I would say either amount works, depending on your taste.
