A spring without rhubarb – hard to imagine! Jamie Oliver also seems to be a big fan of the vegetables and turns the sticks into pink rhubarb gin in no time with his simple recipe.

Aperol Spritz and Hugo were yesterday – this summer we’re ringing in the end of work on the balcony with a cool rhubarb gin. Thanks to Jamie Oliver’s simple recipe, the drink is homemade with just five ingredients and unfolds its full aroma within a few days. The result: a play of pink tones in the glass that tastes great too.

When preparing the rhubarb gin, you can choose from two types of rhubarb. Foodies who like their sundowner to be slightly tart and slightly sour should choose rhubarb with green stalk meat. A fine raspberry or strawberry aroma and a slight sweetness spread in the gin when red-stemmed rhubarb is used for the preparation – to be found at the weekly market as raspberry or strawberry rhubarb.

The preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 160 ° C. Wash the rhubarb, cut into pieces about 3 centimeters in size and place in a casserole dish (30 x 35 centimeters).
  2. Remove the peel of the orange using a peeler and put it in the mold. Squeeze the juice of the orange and pour it over the rhubarb.
  3. Heat the whole thing in the oven for around 25 minutes – then let it cool down on a rack.
  4. When the rhubarb has cooled down, put it in a sterile 1 liter jar. Pour in the gin, close everything tightly and let it rest upside down.
  5. Store the rhubarb gin in a dark place for three to four days so that the aromas can develop. Then strain and pour the finished rhubarb gin back into the gin bottle.
  6. Served on ice with tonic water and a slice of orange or lemon, the rhubarb gin is one of the colorful drinks of spring!

The rhubarb gin can be kept cool and dark for around a month.
