Spring has officially arrived, and we're ready with a light cocktail that's perfect for our favorite warm weather activity: outdoor drinking. We’re big fans of this classic combination of sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb, a pairing that makes us nostalgic for our Southern upbringing.
This recipe is adapted from a cocktail in our book, Shake: A New Perspective on Cocktails. Fresh rhubarb gets muddled in the bottle of the Mason Shaker. Strawberry-rhubarb preserves, lemon and Ketel One Vodka join the mix. After a good shake, the mixture is strained through a fine strainer into an ice-filled collins glass and topped with club soda. Garnish with a rhubarb stalk and enjoy!
