Easy Pink Rhubarb Gin Recipe
There are a number of ways to make rhubarb gin but this recipe is one of the easiest. One important tip is to choose a good quality gin. I suggest you don’t use one with strong botanicals to ensure the taste of the rhubarb is maximized.

Ingredients
- 1 Kg Rhubarb 2.2 lbs or about 7¼ cups
- 1 L Gin About 4¼ cups, and no need for a premium brand, but not one with complex botanicals
- 400 g white sugar 2 cups
Instructions
- Remove the leaves, wash and trim the rhubarb stalks.
- Cut the stems into 3cm pieces and put them in a large jar with the sugar.
- Seal the lid and give the rhubarb and sugar a good shake to thoroughly combine. Leave overnight.
- After 24hrs, the sugar will have drawn out a lot of juice from the rhubarb. Add the gin, seal the jar, and give it another good shake. Leave for 4 weeks giving the jar an occasional shake.
- After four weeks, the rhubarb gin is ready. The liquor will be clear and a beautiful pink in color but you can strain it through muslin if you want even more clarity. The rhubarb pieces can be eaten, but watch out, they will be boozy.
- Bottle in clean and sterilized glass bottles and use within six months.
