Spiced Rhubarb Champagne Cocktail #SundaySupper

It’s no secret that my husband and I like champagne. It’s a refreshing beverage and we’ve been enjoying it in the spring and summer months. Sometimes when we have brunch we’ll have a mimosa or a bellini with the champagne as I like to mix fruit into this cool beverage.

Last week one of my friends posted a gorgeous champagne cocktail. It looked amazing and when I saw that it had rhubarb in it I was excited. After all, I had a ton of rhubarb in the refrigerator just waiting to be used.

The drink is a spiced rhubarb champagne cocktail. In order to make it I had to make a spiced rhubarb syrup. It’s basically sugar, water, rhubarb, ginger, cinnamon, and vanilla. After everything is cooked together rum is added in as well. The spiced rhubarb syrup is delicious on its own so I knew it was going to be great in a cocktail too.

In order to make the cocktail I simply poured some of the syrup into a champagne flute, added a few pieces of the chopped rhubarb, and poured in the champagne. It looked so pretty with a slight pinkish hue to it.

Are you wondering about the taste? So delicious! The dry, bubbly champagne is sweetened slightly by the spiced rhubarb syrup and there are hints of cinnamon, ginger, and rhubarb in the drink. This is a great drink for dinner parties, brunches, or just because.

We had plenty of the syrup left over and I was wondering how I might be able to use it. I ended up putting it in my gingerale for a tasty spiced rhubarb flavored soda. It was yummy and I can see myself using the syrup to flavor my water as well.
