Rhubarb Rosemary Spritzer



I first came across this recipe Spring 2008 on another food blog: Simply Recipes. Rhubarb season was just about over and it took trips to 4 grocery stores and I was about to give up before I finally found rhubarb; little did I know this recipe would be worth a dozen trips! After I had my first taste I was on the hunt for more rhubarb and stocked up. I froze about 5 pounds of rhubarb before I was satisfied: enough for a few months at least! Well, Spring is here again and so is glorious rhubarb! YEA! Ryan and I had family over earlier this week and they loved this drink too. It is refreshing, new, and delicious. So, go find some rhubarb (look for a red color, no so much green) and make this drink. It's unlikely you will want a glass of anything else this year. Enjoy!

Limoncello

Ever since Danny DeVito made his infamous appearance on The View I have wanted to try Limoncello. Check out a clip of that episode here. I can only hope this Limoncello provides as much entertainment as Danny DeVito did. Once this was made, I struggled with how to consume it and on ice just seemed so boring. I liked it mixed with Club Soda, but it's delicious on ice too. Eric suggested adding it to ice tea. Eric's girlfriend, Caitlin, thought it would be great mixed with Club Soda and with a few red raspberries or a dash of raspberry liqueur. I would love to hear your serving ideas. Enjoy!
