Rhubarb Spring Cocktail
This Rhubarb Spring Cocktail is everything I love about the season—bright, crisp, and just a little bit romantic. A homemade rhubarb simple syrup brings that perfect balance of tart and floral sweetness, shaken with fresh lime (sliced perfectly with my @steelportknifeco knife) and white rum, then lifted with a splash of club soda for a refreshing finish.Finished with delicate rhubarb ribbons curled into a rose—because cocktails should be just as beautiful as they are delicious.Shake, pour, top, and garnish with your rhubarb rose.
