If you love a martini then you'll definitely want to try this rhubarb flavoured version.
Use the freshest and most vibrant stalks of seasonal rhubarb you can find in the shops to make the rhubarb simple syrup and then any leftovers you have can be added into so many more cocktails. We'll be using ours in a gin and tonic or simply added into a glazz of fizz for a simple tipple.
