Rhubarb Mint Mojito Mocktail or Cocktail

This delicious, refreshing drink is made by making a simple syrup using rhubarb and mint.  Add some lime juice and fill the glass with soda water for a lovely, light mocktail to start off the New Year.

We celebrated Epiphany yesterday with our final gathering for this Christmas season.  We had a houseful of guests including kids and adults that chose to be alcohol-free.  I like serving up flavorful drinks that still look fancy and festive.

Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures invited us to share Mocktail recipes with our readers today. Many of us choose to lighten up in January after the excess of the Holidays.  In fact, January 14-20 is National Mocktail Week. 

Let's take a look at what the others are sharing today.  Cheers........

I had some rhubarb from my garden, that I had chopped and put up in the freezer to make this simple syrup.  You can buy frozen rhubarb at many grocers.  This recipe is easily adapted to become a cocktail should you wish.  Simply add a shot of white gin before filling the glass with soda.
