Weekend Whistle Wetter: Strawberry Rhubarb Daiquiri

Really, we haven't blogged since the beginning of the year!?  We have been busy finishing our book, which is currently at the printers readying itself for production.   The book should be available by late June or early July.  We continue to work on finalizing our website and adding finishing touches to the Happy Hour Passport.  But, there is always time for a good recipe.  It's rhubarb season again.  Though we don't tend to be daiquiri drinkers, this recipe is more fruity than sweet.  Give it a try this weekend if you are fortunate enough to have saved some of your rhubarb.  It's a 4 to 6 serving recipe:



 
Strawberry Rhubarb Daiquiri

6 oz. light rum
1/2 c. lime juice (juice of 3 limes)
1-1/3 c. rhubarb syrup (see our rhubarb margarita blog for rhubarb syrup recipe)
1 c. fresh strawberries, sliced
3 tb. simple syrup
3 c. ice

Mix in blender and serve in a cocketail glass.  Garnish with fresh strawberry.

 Cheers and Bottoms Up!
