A quick and easy rhubarb simple syrup that adds a bright, tangy sweetness to cocktails, perfect for spring and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chopped rhubarb stalks (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (white or organic cane sugar)
  • 1 cup water (filtered if possible)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Chop the rhubarb: Trim the ends and cut the stalks into roughly 1-inch pieces (about 1 cup or 120g).
  2. Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 1 cup (240ml) water. Add the chopped rhubarb and stir to combine.
  3. Bring to a gentle simmer: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a simmer (5-7 minutes).
  4. Simmer and infuse: Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until rhubarb softens and liquid turns pinkish-red.
  5. Add lemon juice: Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
  6. Strain the syrup: Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl or heatproof jar. Press rhubarb to extract liquid and discard solids.
  7. Cool and store: Let syrup cool to room temperature, transfer to a sealed container, and refrigerate. Keeps up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Keep the heat gentle to avoid caramelizing or bitterness. Don’t skip the lemon juice to balance sweetness. Strain well for a smooth syrup. Use fresh rhubarb if possible for brighter flavor. The syrup keeps well refrigerated for up to two weeks. Reheat gently with a splash of water if syrup thickens or crystallizes.
