Experience the unique flavor of our rhubarb with this recipe for a spiced gimlet rhubarb cocktail by Naren Young, from www.liquor.com : 

2 oz Bombay Sapphire East Gin

3/4 oz lime juice

3/4 oz spiced rhubarb shrub

3 dashes rhubarb bitters

2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters 

Garnish: 

1 pickled rhubarb stalk S

piced rhubarb shrub ingredients: 

2 tbsp coriander seeds

3 tbsp pink peppercorns

4 cups sugar

1 qt raspberry vinegar

4 cups chopped rhubarb 

Toast the coriander and peppercorns for a minute or two in a saucepan over medium heat.  Add the remaining ingredients and cook just until it begins to bubble.  (The sugar will dissolve, and the rhubarb will begin to break down.)  Remove from the heat and let cool completely.  Strain through a sieve, pressing the rhubarb to extract as much liquid as possible. To make pickled rhubarb, pour cold spiced rhubarb shrub over fresh rhubarb stalks trimmed and chopped into 3-inch pieces.  Refrigerate for at least a few hours before using.
