Rhubarb Simple Syrup
First, use a vegetable peeler to shave a few strips of the rhubarb for garnish. Set aside.In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water and rhubarb. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring often, until the rhubarb is softened and the syrup begains to thicken. Strain the mixture though a fine-mesh sieve, pressing with a rubber spatula to release all the liquid. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Pour into an airtight container and store in refrigerator.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the gin, rhubarb simple syrup, and lime juice. Shake. Strain into a cokctail glass filled with ice. Splash with club soda. Garnish with 1 strip or two shavings of rhubarb.
