Ingredients
- 1/2 oz Gin
- 1/4 cup sparkling apple cider (Wright Stuff is perfect)
- ice
For the cordial
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/2 lemon, zested and juiced
- 100g rhubarb – about 1/2 cup
- 1 slice peeled ginger
STEP 1
First, make the cordial. Add the sugar and water into a saucepan set over a medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then add the lemon zest and juice, rhubarb and ginger. Cook until the rhubarb starts to break down and collapse, about 5-10 mins. Pour into a heatproof jug through a fine mesh sieve and set aside to cool. (You will make enough cordial for two drinks.)
STEP 2
Pour the gin into an ice-filled glass, then stir in 50ml of the cordial. Top up with apple cider. Twist the strip of rhubarb around a finger to curl, if using, then drop into the drink to garnish.
