Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Rhubarb
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 750 milliliters Vodka
Instructions
Wash the rhubarb thoroughly, trimming off the ends and any fibrous skin if necessary.
Cut the rhubarb stalks into small 1-inch pieces to maximize surface area for infusion.
In a large, sterile glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid, add the rhubarb pieces.
Pour the granulated sugar over the rhubarb in the jar, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Carefully pour the vodka into the jar, making sure the rhubarb is fully submerged.
Seal the jar tightly and give it a gentle shake to combine the ingredients. Place the jar in a cool, dark place.
Let the mixture infuse for 3-4 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days to encourage the sugar to dissolve and flavors to blend.
After the infusion period, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to filter out the rhubarb pieces and any sediment. Pour the rhubarb vodka into a clean, sterile bottle.
Serve your homemade rhubarb vodka neat, over ice, or as part of your favorite cocktail. Store in a cool, dark place and enjoy responsibly!
