Rhubarb liqueur

History indicates that the first mention of liqueurs goes back to the distant 16th century. At that time, they were created by alchemists and monastic orders and were used exclusively for medical purposes. The liquor treated wounds, carried out disinfection (its strength was an order of magnitude higher than the current one), eliminated the consequences of colds. Over time, through trial and error, it was possible to improve the taste of alcohol, after which it immediately began to be consumed internally. Nothing is as uplifting as a shot of sweet liquor.

It is customary to distinguish a lot of varieties of this drink. Perhaps the rarest and most exotic (but no less interesting) is rhubarb liquor. It is based on rhubarb - a plant with thick, woody, branched rhizomes. It is grown almost all over the globe, and its taste properties allow you to create high-quality liquor.

The drink bottle is a nice pink. The liquor itself has a sweet and sour taste. Its base strength is 15%, although the value may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer supplying the alcohol.

Use of rhubarb liquor

Of course, the creation of the drink was primarily due to the needs of the bar culture. Rhubarb liqueur is superbly combined with dry sparkling wine, egg, soda, genever and many other liqueurs, among which are sour cherry flavors.

In total, there are more than 10 cocktails with this wonderful drink.

Some rhubarb liquor is consumed separately. To taste, ice is added to it, as well as some fruits: grapes, cherries, apple. The ideal option is to end their hearty lunch and use it as a dessert.
