A rhubarb cocktail is made in the same ways as a Mojito: Take a cocktail shaker and pour rum, then add raw sugar, fine slices of rhubarb and lime, as well as 60 ml of rhubarb syrup. Fill a glass with crushed ice, pour the cocktail in, and finally fill it with soda water. Garnish with pickled rhubarb, a mint leaf, and even a slice of lime.
