Oh I do love a cocktail and I thought it was high time I put another one on the blog. Maybe I should do one a month, that might be an idea.

I always feel that a nice cocktail cheers things up a bit. While I do love a good old G& T or a glass of wine, a cocktail always feels a bit special.

This rhubarb ginger and raspberry gin spritz couldn’t be more timely just now. Bearing in mind the amount of rhubarb I seem to be amassing.

Rhubarb is always one of those fabulous flavours of spring. I’ve been using it for all sorts of recipes – see links at bottom of this post. Or check out my other Spring Recipes here

This cocktail couldn’t be easier to make. I started off by making a simple syrup with rhubarb and ginger to give things a really good flavour.

Then it was just a case of muddling those luscious raspberries, adding a good measure of gin and also some of my gorgeous rhubarb and gin liqueur, a dash of dry vermouth and a good topping of fizzy water.

The perfect spring cocktail to sip in the sunshine. While we may well still be in lock down, we can sip cocktails, treat ourselves well and imagine being with friends and family again. Make this fun and tasty cocktail, raise a glass to those you are missing just now and have a lovely weekend wherever you are.
