This year for Tyler’s birthday celebrations I made some homemade rhubarb syrup and came up with a drink in his honor, I call it The Vermonter.
Rhubarb is in season, so now is the time to make a batch of syrup and try it out with your liquor of choice. Add it into Dark n’ Stormy’s, Mojitos, and Margaritas- add a bit of it to a gin and tonic, or combine with champagne for a special Bellini. The rhubarb syrup can be a bit sweet, so adjust the amount depending on how sweet you like your cocktails.
The Vermonter
2 parts Rhubarb Syrup
1 part whiskey of choice (Buffalo Trace or Bulleit is recommended)
Splash of club soda
Squeeze of lime
Combine syrup, whiskey and ice and shake. Pour into glass, top with club soda and squeeze of lime. Stir gently and garnish with lime. Enjoy!
