My friends warned me, “Avoid naming it anything with rhubarb, or it’ll deter people from trying it.”
After receiving some rhubarb rosemary jelly from Garrett a few weeks ago, I’ve been intrigued by the rhubarb-rosemary combo.
Although I can’t fully convey its deliciousness without you tasting it yourself, believe me, the mix is fantastic. If you’re open-minded and enjoy both rhubarb and rosemary, you must give this blend a go.
Garrett suggested the name “Rhuby Slipper,” which I like, or perhaps “Pink Princess” could suit it too.
The recipe below makes an excellent punch for a special gathering or even a magical unicorn-themed birthday party for 6-year-olds. It was a hit among the Sacramento food bloggers I served it to.

Simmer rhubarb, water, sugar, rosemary:

Remove from heat. Strain out the solids using a fine mesh strainer, then add lemon juice. Adjust with more lemon juice if needed. Chill until serving.

To serve, fill a glass with a quarter to a half of the rhubarb-rosemary syrup, topping it with soda water.
