interesting new drink recipe...

[zooom]

I am certainly curious to try it....


San Franciscoâ€"based mixologist Jacqueline Patterson created this drink with seasonal rhubarb syrup and locally produced St. George absinthe verte. The sweetness of the syrup and the licorice flavor of the absinthe balance out the assertiveness of the bourbon, for a cocktail that can become a smack of evil if too many are consumed.
What to buy: Bulleit Bourbon is praised for its high rye content and toasty aroma; Old Overholt rye whiskey may be substituted.
St. George absinthe verte works beautifully in this cocktail because it's on the drier side. If you can't find it, Kübler absinthe is a decent substitute.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 ounces Bulleit Bourbon
1 ounce Rhubarb Syrup
3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
Dash St. George absinthe verte
Ice
Lemon twist
Mint leaf, crushed

obviously you have not had BGB's rhubarb deserts...........old family recipes going back a hundred years and to another continent............Awesome! That vile weed as you call it is a wonderful plant-sorry I like ll plants including weeds and thistles. They all have a beauty to them and they all have a place.

send me some samples and I will head 12 minutes down the road to rgramjet's place and feed some to him without telling him what vile weed's he is eating and see what he says/does!

I put rhubarb right there with poison ivy......which I happen to be battling as I type this. 

Vile Weeds I maintain!

Hmm... I think I like bourbon and Absinthe too much on their own to mix them up. Can I have some Rhubarb pie instead?

[Drunken Monkey]

Hmmm. I think the bears trying because I love Bulleit & Absinthe


Then again, I love Mint and Oranges too, but together... not so much.

Of course, Bourbon and Absinthe make up the very old Sazerac cocktail.

There's simply no excuse for rhubarb, though.
