Instructions

Notes
- To make simple rhubarb syrup, simmer 1 cup chopped rhubarb, 1 cup water, and 1 cup sugar until the rhubarb breaks down. Strain and cool before use.
- If you prefer a rum base, substitute the gin with aged rum for a slightly sweeter profile.
- Use a high-quality, spicy ginger beer for the best flavor contrast.
