Try this lovely low alcohol rhubarb spritz. A spritz would normally contain gin, but the sharp lemon and aromatic star anise mean you won't miss it

Time 11m

Number Of Ingredients 7

50g caster sugar
2 large sticks rhubarb , chopped
1 orange , zest pared into strips
1 small star anise
50ml lemon juice
100ml rosé wine
soda water

Steps:

  • Put the caster sugar, rhubarb, orange and star anise in a pan with the water. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for 5-6 mins, or until the rhubarb is soft and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, leave to cool and strain into a jug. (See tip below.)
  • Pour 100ml of the syrup into a mixing glass or a jug with the lemon juice, rosé and ice. Stir well until the mixture has chilled, then strain into two wine glasses over ice. Top up with soda water, taste and add a dash more syrup, if you like. Garnish each with a peeled rhubarb ribbon.
