We're starting a new series at Summersalt! We'll be sharing a yummy, summery cocktail recipe every Friday as part of #SummersaltHappyHour, because we want you to have the BEST. SUMMER. EVER...
.
First recipe is brought to you by our gal @zoeyjean - her spin on a rhubarb-berry lemonade! It's perfect to sip by the pool with friends, entertain guests, or enjoy by yourself for a night in.
.
What you'll need to make the Rhu-Berry Splash:
1 & 1/4 cup fresh, chopped Rhubarb
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 Liter Trader Joe's Sparkling Lemonade (or any carbonated lemon bevy!)
and to make it all chill...can't forget the ICE! ...
.
The first step of making this savory drink is to prepare the rhubarb/berry syrup that you'll add into the lemonade!
This can be a slower process, waiting for the ingredients to boil down, but it gives you a nice moment to tidy up your kitchen or do anything else you might need to.
.
In a small/medium sized pot, add the rhubarb, berries, and sugar. Leave on the LOWEST heat setting - after about 10 minutes you'll see a deep red syrupy mixture starting to form. Stir it up a bit and let it keep sitting. You won't break down ALL the berries and rhubarb, but you know it's finished when you have a good amount of the liquid covering the remaining bits. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
.
You'll then need to take a fine mesh strainer, and place it over a bowl or large mason jar to strain the liquid from the remaining berries & rhubarb. ... Prepare your glasses with ice and 1 to 1 & 1/2 cups of sparkling lemonade. Add a shot of Vodka, 1/4 cup of rhubarb berry juice, and stir it all up! ... Who can't wait to try this?? 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Blog post coming soon! || #GoSummersalt
