Ingredients
Scale
- 3 fresh sprigs lavender (or 1/4–1/2 teaspoon dried lavender)
- 1 Cup maple syrup
- 4 Cups rhubarb, 1/2 inch slices
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 and 2/3 cups soda water or about 3 1/2, 12oz cans
- 7 lavender sprigs for garnish (optional)
- Gin or vodka (optional)
Instructions
- Place lavender sprigs and syrup in a mug. Microwave for about one minute or until bubbling. Take lavender out of syrup and discard.
- Pour syrup and rhubarb in a medium saute pan over medium/high heat and bring to simmer, stirring occasionally for 10 min. Once rhubarb is soft, smash with the back of a rubber spatula (or process in a blender if you want it smoother).
- Stir in lemon juice. Place in the fridge to cool.
- Once rhubarb mixture is cool, pour about 1/4 cup in each glass, pour in about 2/3 cup soda water, stir well and fill with ice.
- Stir in alcohol if desired. Garnish with lavender sprig. Enjoy!
Notes
San Juan Island Distillery’s Gin is a tasty local Gin and it’s what I prefer in my Rhubarb Lavender Spritzer. Its also a great place to visit when touring the San Juan Islands in Washington State!
