I am currently on a rhubarb and gin craze. Well, not craze binging but exploring the flavors of spring. I don’t recall picking up Dry Soda, Rhubarb Soda but there it was and it’s where my Sunday night cocktail rustled up some inspiration. It seemed a perfect fit for the batch of Rhubarb Citrus Syrup I made last week.
I made a vegan vanilla and flower bud cake with a layer of roasted strawberry rhubarb and a slathered in coconut icing. This syrup was perfect painted between the layers of cake. It makes a refreshing spring sipper when added to sparkling water or in a cocktail. Let me know how you enjoy it.
