Cocktail Description
The Rhubarb Rumba delivers a vibrant tango of tart and sweet that dances gracefully across your palate with each sip.
This elegant cocktail combines the bright, vegetal tang of rhubarb preserve with zesty orange notes, all lifted by the clean, grassy character of Plantation 3 Stars white rum. The fresh lime juice adds a necessary acidic punch that balances the sweetness of the preserve, creating a refreshingly complex cocktail that's simultaneously sophisticated and approachable. Despite its fancy appearance in a martini glass, the Rhubarb Rumba is surprisingly straightforward to make, requiring just a good stir to dissolve the preserve before shaking with ice. It's perfect for springtime gatherings when rhubarb is in season, though the preserve makes it accessible year-round. Serve this vibrant cocktail at brunch or as a pre-dinner aperitif where it pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, particularly those with citrus elements, or alongside a cheese board featuring creamy goat cheese and fresh fruit.
