Rhubarb is a fickle vegetable; it looks like celery, but has a sweeter taste and light texture. People don’t know whether to cook savory dishes with it, or make pies or tarts. Either way, it’s a food worth exploring. Rhubarb has been cultivated for thousands of years, and was originally used by the Chinese to cure common ailments. Back to point: I had the opportunity to experience a phenomenal dessert the other evening at a dinner party… it was a Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp with Cardamon and Nutmeg Topping. Freshly out of the oven it melted in my mouth, and was the perfect ending to a great meal.

My roommate and I first made this drink last year. We were thinking we could have a martini before we started hauling the tree trimmings up from the basement. They are delicious, a perfect wintery cocktail. A note of Christmas caution: These drinks are VERY strong. You may feel tipsy after only one, and by three, you may be seeing flying reindeer. (We ended up blowing off the Christmas tree that night, and drank two more of these instead.)
