To get the prettiest blush color for this drink, be sure to choose rhubarb without any green streaks, and don’t remove the fibrous pink peel.

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces rhubarb (about 3 medium stalks), cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cups seltzer or 1 bottle (750 ml) dry sparkling Cava wine, chilled
  • Lemon and pink grapefruit slices, halved (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, stir rhubarb, sugar and lemon juice over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb breaks down completely, about 6 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  2. Divide syrup among 8 glasses. Top with seltzer or Cava. Garnish with lemon and grapefruit slices, if desired. Serve immediately

One grapefruit will give you 8% of your daily needs of folic acid.
