Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all ingredients. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place chopped rhubarb in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until rhubarb is tender, approximately 10-15 minutes.

03

Step

Drain the cooked rhubarb thoroughly. Mash with a potato masher for a rustic texture, or purée in a blender or food processor for a smoother consistency. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a large pitcher or bowl, stir together the rhubarb purée, sugar, thawed orange juice concentrate, thawed lemonade concentrate, gin, and water until well combined. Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 to 3 hours, or until it reaches your desired slushy consistency. Stir occasionally during the freezing process to prevent large ice crystals from forming. (Freezing time: 60-180 minutes)

06

Step

To serve, scoop the frozen rhubarb mixture into glasses and top with chilled lemon-lime soda. Adjust the amount of soda to your preference for sweetness and fizz. (5 minutes)

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the gin and replace it with an additional cup of water or sparkling water.
Adjust the amount of sugar to taste, depending on the tartness of your rhubarb.
Garnish with fresh mint sprigs or a slice of orange or lemon for an elegant touch.
If you prefer a smoother slush, strain the rhubarb purée through a fine-mesh sieve before freezing to remove any fibrous pieces.
The rhubarb mixture can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for up to a week. Allow it to thaw slightly before scooping and serving.

    This recipe is amazing! The perfect balance of sweet and tart. I omitted the gin and it was still delicious.

    Instead of lemon-lime soda, I used sparkling water and added a squeeze of lime. It was fantastic!

    So easy to make and a great way to use up my rhubarb harvest. I added a splash of vodka for an extra kick.
