How to make it

Method

01

Put the coupes in the freezer for ten minutes. A warm coupe is a sad thing.

02

Stir the jam, lemon juice and spirit together in a jug until the jam has dissolved.

03

Divide between the two glasses, pouring through a tea strainer if your jam is lumpy.

04

Top each glass with Rhubarb & Rose and finish with a few petals.

The tip

The jam does the work of a syrup and adds body. Strawberry will do if rhubarb is out of season.
