For this recipe you will need:

a bottle of cheap gin 700ml

400g of chopped rhubarb

400g of castor or granulated sugar

juice of one lemon

To make the rhubarb gin, first pick or buy enough rhubarb. Then chop the leaves off and discard, and chop the stems into inch long pieces and wash.

Add to a clean glass jar or demijohn, together with 400g of sugar.

Then add the gin

and finally the lemon juice.

Give it all a big swish round

Keep in a cool and dark place for 2 weeks

Then strain the rhubarb off and you are left with lovely pink rhubarb gin.

Already in just an hour the gin has started to turn pink.

You can then make a G&T in the normal way or add a little rhubarb gin to champagne for some extra fizz.  Enjoy!!
