Bright, tangy, and irresistibly vibrant, this Rhubarb Infused Vodka recipe transforms simple vodka into a bold spirit with a zesty twist. Perfect for vodka tonics, sparkling cocktails, or creative drink recipes, it’s a refreshing addition to any bar.
Prepare the Rhubarb: Wash the rhubarb thoroughly and dry with a paper towel. Chop into small, evenly sized pieces, about ½ inch thick, to maximize flavor extraction.
Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped rhubarb to a clean, sterilized glass jar. Pour the vodka over the rhubarb, ensuring all pieces are fully submerged.
Seal and Steep: Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Shake the jar gently once a day to mix the flavors and encourage infusion.
Strain and Bottle: After 5–7 days (taste-test on day 5 to check the flavor), strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle. Press the rhubarb gently to release the remaining liquid, but avoid over-squeezing to keep the vodka clear.
Store: Seal the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark spot. The vodka will keep for up to 3 months.
