Servings: persons

For the rhubarb syrup:
1 cup chopped rhubarb
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
For the cocktail:
2 ounces gin
1 1/2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1/2 ounce lime and/or lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 to 4 teaspoons rhubarb syrup, to taste
3 to 6 basil leaves, to taste

3 dashes rhubarb bitters

1
Bring 1 cup water to a boil.
2
Add rhubarb and sugar and let sit until sugar has dissolved.
3
Once sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat, cover, and let sit until cool.
4
Add basil leaves, gin, and lemon/lime juice to the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Muddle.
5
Add vinegar, rhubarb syrup, and ice. Shake well, until shaker has frosted.
6
Strain and pour into a rocks glass, with one large ice cube (if you don't have a fancy ice cube tray, try making some nice large ones in a muffin tin).
7
Garnish with 1 to 2 basil leaves.
8
Top with grapefruit juice or soda, then give the whole drink a stir.
9
Finish with three dashes of rhubarb bitters (I recommend Fee Brothers). Lemon or aromatic bitters would do in a pinch.
