    Rhubarb Gin Fizz With Aperol

    Rhubarb and gin fizz with Aperol is a delicious and easy drink made with Rhubarb simple syrup, gin, Aperol and tonic water (the fizz). The rhubarb simple syrup works beautifully with the Aperol liquor because Aperol is actually made from Rhubarb, among other ingredients. The gin imparts a light floral note to the drink without overpowering it making it a great choice. This Rhubarb and gin fizz cocktail is just delicious and one I think you will love.

    Total Time: 35 minutes minutes

    It is no secret that I love Gin and Aperol and this is not my first recipe that I have written on both of these liquors. My Aperol and soda is a simplified Aperol drink perfect for when you have only a few ingredients on hand.

    My St Germain gin and tonic is a delicious and simple gin cocktail that is perfect for all occasions. Now I have decided to combine my two favorite liquors into one cocktail with this Rhubarb and gin fizz.

    I also love using fresh seasonal fruit in my cocktails. If you have tried my bramble cocktail or my watermelon margaritas then you know this about me already 🙂

    Ingredients needed

    • Rhubarb Simple Syrup. This is so easy to make. You will need fresh or frozen rhubarb, sugar and water.
    • Aperol. This is an Italian liquor and it really goes well with the gin and rhubarb.
    • Gin. Use your favorite brand of gin.
    • Tonic. The tomic is the fizz in this rhubarb gin fizz.
    • Lime. I always love squeezing a bit of fresh lime over this rhubarb cocktail. It really elevates the fruity flavors of the drink. If you do not have limes, no worries, you can leave this part out.

    The Rhubarb simple syrup is made ahead of time so that it has time to cool in the refrigerator before it is used in the cocktail. It only takes 10 minutes to make and is very easy.

    I make a good batch of this as I do with many of my simple syrups(basil simple syrup, cherry simple syrup, pear simple syrup)and just store them in the refrigerator until I need them. The flavored simple syrups will last weeks in the cold part of your refrigerator.

    Aperol and Rhubarb Fizz

    Cocktails are not the only use for this these simple syrups. I love using them in lemonades or any non-alcoholic drinks. You can actually make a big batch of lemonade with the simple syrup and just use that as a cocktail mixer for cocktails.

    There are so many uses for it!

    Why I think you'll love this rhubarb gin fizz

    • You can make a big batch of the rhubarb simple syrup ahead of time and have it waiting to make many drinks with it.
    • The rhubarb simple syrup really compliments the Aperol beautifully
    • The gin added to the drink really gives that extra punch to make a sturdy cocktail (Aperol is very light in alcohol content on its own).
    • The lime adds that bit of tartness that really compliments the flavor of the rhubarb.

    I highly suggest giving this Rhubarb and gin fizz a try because it is really delicious and perfect for sipping on in the summer. I might also mention that because it is really easy to sip and so refreshing so you'll want to remember that there is alcohol in it!

    I hope you give this one a try.
