From Grano Arso in Chester

Bartender: Wesley De Costa

INGREDIENTS

• 1.5 oz. of Cachaca (a Brazilian rum)
• .5 oz of Aperol
• 1 oz. of fresh lime juice
• .75 oz. of rhubarb simple syrup
• 2x dashes of rhubarb bitters (“Fee Brothers”)

INSTRUCTIONS

Shaken with ice, then strain into a “rocks” glass over ice. Garnished with a lime wedge and fresh rhubarb.

To make the rhubarb simple syrup:

• Weigh out equal parts of sugar, water and chopped rhubarb. 200 grams of each.
• Put all ingredients into a pot and heat it up to a boil.
• Continue to let it boil for about 5 mins or until the rhubarb is cooked through.
• Strain your simple into a temperature-safe bowl. Within your strainer, press the chopped cooked rhubarb to really release all the rhubarb flavor.
