Drink Your Garden: Green Rhubarb Fizz

I don’t know about you, but I fancy me an old fashioned cocktail from time to time. That being said, how’s about a Green Rhubarb Fizz, eh? This champagne cocktail is an ode to late spring, welcoming summer and honoring the gorgeous, gargantuan rhubarb that grows right here in our edible garden. Have you pick up on how much I love champagne cocktails yet? 😂🥂

Our well-established (mostly green-stemmed) rhubarb plant sprouts in early spring and provides plenty to harvest into midsummer. In other words, you’ll have rhubarb recipes and gin fizz cocktails for days. But remember, the leaves are poinsonous, yo. Cut them bad boys off beforehand. Chippity-choppity. 🙅🏻
