gin, homemade rhubarb liqueur, lemon juice, egg white⁣
⁣
The official VeryPink cocktail recipe:⁣
(it’s a big cocktail, for a big coupe glass)⁣
3 oz gin, I used Citadelle⁣
2 oz homemade rhubarb liqueur⁣
1/2 oz lemon juice⁣
one egg white⁣
Add all ingredients to the shaker without ice, and shake to combine. I always do 40 hard shakes from one end of the shaker to the other, like a piston. Add ice, 40 more shakes. Strain into a coupe glass and check out your biceps, because that counts as an upper-body workout and you are hot AF.⁣ 💪

Someone else told me, either here or on Facebook, to use the homemade rhubarb liqueur in a VeryPink cocktail recipe. Such a good idea! If you follow me here but have no idea what I’m talking about…in my real life I’m @verypinkknits, YouTube knitting teacher since 2009. It is my real, full-time job.⁣

I had to tweak this recipe a couple of times to get the balance right. I started with a White Lady recipe, with the rhubarb liqueur instead of Cointreau. The lemon juice totally overwhelmed the rhubarb. If you had asked me earlier today, I would NOT have said that the earthy taste of rhubarb is delicate. It is. The proportions I have here allow both the gin and rhubarb to shine, and the egg white adds the smoothness of velvet on your tongue. ⁣

One more thing, because you might be wondering how I made the rhubarb liqueur. I have a Drinky-Drink Project website, just follow the link in my bio. I made the website because it is IMPOSSIBLE to find previous posts on IG without a ton of scrolling. But you can search the website, for things like “rhubarb liqueur”, for instance. I’m not selling anything and I don’t run ads so my only motivation for sending you there is so you can find stuff. But I try to make it a nice place to visit, too. ⁣
