Description

Rhubarb Slush is a refreshing frozen drink made with tart rhubarb, citrus juice, and a hint of sweetness – perfect for cooling off on hot summer days or serving as a party punch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 cups ginger ale or lemon-lime soda (for serving)
  • Optional: 1 cup vodka or gin (for adult version)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes until rhubarb is soft.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Strain mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth, discarding solids.
  3. Stir in lemon juice and orange juice. Add alcohol if using.
  4. Pour mixture into a large freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally for a smoother texture.
  5. To serve, scrape or scoop slush into glasses and top with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda.
  6. Garnish with lemon slices or mint if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a sweeter slush, increase sugar to 2 cups.
  • Make a large batch and store frozen for up to 2 weeks.
  • Perfect as a non-alcoholic drink or spiked cocktail.
