Rhubarb & Cardamom Liqueur

A perfectly pink tipple that captures the delicate essence of rhubarb to enjoy all year long. Serve on the rocks or slosh into a glass of fizz for an elegant cocktail.

Ingredients

  • 700g rhubarb
  • 150g caster sugar
  • 1 orange, peel only
  • 20 cardamom pods
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 700ml vodka

Delicious after a couple of days but more intense after 4 week. Once strained the rhubarb liqueur will keep for 6 months in a cool dark place. Once opened, store in the fridge for up to 2 months. If your rhubarb is more on the green side, your liqueur wont be as pink hued but will taste just as delicious!
