Rhubarb Liqueur Ingredients:
- 4 cups chopped fresh rhubarb (about 1 pound)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups vodka
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Rhubarb: In a large glass jar or airtight container, combine chopped rhubarb and sugar. Stir well to coat the rhubarb evenly. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours to allow the rhubarb to release its juices and the sugar to dissolve.
- Infuse the Liqueur: After 24 hours, add the vodka and lemon zest to the jar. Stir to combine. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place for 3 to 4 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days to help infuse the flavors.
- Strain and Store: After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle or jar. Discard solids. Stir in vanilla extract if using. Seal and refrigerate or store in a cool, dark place.
Notes
- Use high-quality vodka for the best flavor.
- The liqueur can be enjoyed on its own, over ice, or mixed into cocktails.
- It will keep for several months if stored properly.
