Ingredients

For Rhubarb Juice:

1 pounds rhubarb rinsed and chopped (12-13 stalks of rhubarb)
12 ounces water
½ cup granulated sugar

For Each Cocktail:

3 tablespoons rhubarb juice
1½ ounces rum
.5 ounce elderberry extract
Ice
Club soda

Instructions

To Make Rhubarb Juice:

Combine rhubarb, sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Allow to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, and strain thoroughly. The easiest way to get all the rhubarb flavor is to use a spoon and press the juices from the pulp in the strainer. Allow to cool. Store rhubarb juice for future cocktails in sealed jar in refrigerator for up to 10 days or start preparing cocktail when cool.

For Each Cocktail:

Stir the rhubarb juice with the rum and elderberry extract. Add ice cubes and top with club soda.
