Instructions

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.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Strain mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth, discarding solids.
Stir in lemon juice and orange juice. Add alcohol if using.
Pour mixture into a large freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally for a smoother texture.
To serve, scrape or scoop slush into glasses and top with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda.
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.
