Rhubarb Gin Cocktails
Back in April, I made a batch of home-made Rhubarb Gin. I was interested to experiment with a range of flavour combinations and so made several versions: plain Rhubarb Gin, Rhubarb and Vanilla Gin, Rhubarb and Orange Gin and Rhubarb and Ginger Gin. It is really easy to make your own Rhubarb Gin but it does take a month or so until it is ready to drink. If you don’t have the time, inclination (or rhubarb!) to make your own, there are a number of great Rhubarb Gins available now.
My home-made Rhubarb Gins all taste great on their own but, as I love cocktails, I thought I’d have a go at creating a few using the different flavours. I gathered together a few willing volunteer tasters and the following were unanimously agreed to be the best of my Rhubarb Gin cocktail recipes.
Rhubarb Gin cocktail recipes
The method is the same for all the cocktail recipes – pour ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice to mix and cool then pour into a glass and enjoy!
If you like cocktails, and want to experiment with them at home, I would really recommend that you buy a cocktail shaker. Shaking the mix of liquids in your cocktail over ice means the result will be properly combined and icy cold.

Rhubarb Gimlet
- Prep Time: 10
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 1 serving 1x
- Category: Cocktails
- Cuisine: English
Description
I love lime so a Gimlet is one of my favourite cocktails. This one, which I made using my plain Rhubarb Gin, has a fantastic sweet-sour tang. To make sugar syrup you just need to put equal volumes of sugar and water in a pan, heat until the sugar dissolves and then allow to cool.
Ingredients
- 50 ml Rhubarb Gin
- 25 ml fresh lime juice (half a lime)
- 20 ml sugar syrup
Instructions
Pour ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice to mix and cool then pour into a glass and enjoy!

Rhubarb Martini

This is a really simple cocktail but somehow the combination tastes quite sophisticated.
Ingredients
- 65 ml Rhubarb and Orange Gin
- 10 ml dry vermouth
Instructions
Pour ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice to mix and cool then pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
I made it with my Rhubarb and Orange Gin. If you just have plain Rhubarb Gin, you can at 10 ml of an orange liqueur (such as Cointreau).
Rhubarb and Ginger Warmer
- Prep Time: 10
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 1 serving 1x
- Category: Cocktails
- Cuisine: English
Description
The “warmer” in the title refers to the heat from the ginger – I still make it icy cold in the cocktail shaker!
Ingredients
- 50 ml Rhubarb and Ginger Gin
- 50 ml ginger wine (such as Crabbies)
Instructions
Pour ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice to mix and cool then pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
I made it with my Rhubarb and Ginger Gin but it tastes just as good made with plain Rhubarb Gin as the ginger wine provides sufficient gingeriness!
