I've been seeing rhubarb showing up in a bunch of cocktail recipes lately, many calling for a rhubarb syrup or something along those lines. Haven't tried one yet but they sound good.

They are (or can be) very good, MIke. There's rhubarb bitters, rhubarb syrups, puree of rhubarb; I've seen and had all.

And for this recipe, there's always Rabarbaro, a bitter liqueur made with rhubarb. If you need to dial it to eleven, I mean. :D
