Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

25ml gin
ice
75ml sparkling wine
thin strip of rhubarb, to garnish (optional)
75g golden caster sugar
½ lemon, zested and juiced
100g rhubarb, chopped
1 slice of peeled ginger

Steps:

  • First, make the cordial. Tip the sugar and 75ml water into a saucepan set over a medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then add the lemon zest and juice, rhubarb and ginger. Cook until the rhubarb starts to break down and collapse, about 5-10 mins. Pour into a heatproof jug through a fine mesh sieve and set aside to cool. (You will make enough cordial for two drinks.)
  • Pour the gin into an ice-filled coupe glass, then stir in 50ml of the cordial. Top up with sparkling wine. Twist the strip of rhubarb around a finger to curl, if using, then drop into the drink to garnish.
