Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) vodka
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 bean vanilla, split

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large jar, combine the chopped rhubarb and sugar. Stir and let sit for about 30 minutes until the rhubarb releases its juices.
  2. Add the vodka, lemon zest, and split vanilla bean to the jar.
  3. Seal the jar tightly and shake gently to combine all ingredients.
  4. Store in a cool, dark place for about 3 to 4 weeks, shaking the jar every few days for optimal flavor infusing.
  5. After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle.
  6. Seal the bottle and chill before serving.

Notes

Rhubarb liqueur pairs beautifully with fresh fruit salad or served over ice in a short glass. Can also be mixed with sparkling water or soda for a spritzer. For a healthier version, use a sugar substitute.
