This Rhubarb Mint Lemonade is a vibrant, refreshing drink that perfectly captures the essence of spring. Tart rhubarb, zesty lemon, and cool mint combine to create a flavor explosion that's both invigorating and soothing. It's like a spa day in a glass, really!
I remember the first time I made this; it was for a friend's garden party. The sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, and the lemonade was a hit! Everyone kept asking for the recipe, and honestly, it made me feel like a rockstar... a rockstar of lemonade, maybe, but still a rockstar! I think people just enjoy the fact that it's a little unique and offers something other than the usual over-sweetened drink.
This isn't just a drink; it's an experience. Imagine sitting on your porch, the sun warming your face, a gentle breeze rustling through the trees, and a glass of this delightful lemonade in your hand. What could be more perfect? Well, maybe world peace. But the lemonade comes close, I think. Plus, its pretty in pink!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Rhubarb Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, water, and sugar. I once accidentally used salt instead of sugar. Trust me, don't do that!
- Simmer the Mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the rhubarb is very soft and has released its color.
- Strain the Rhubarb: Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl or pitcher. Pour the rhubarb mixture into the strainer. Use a wooden spoon to press the rhubarb, extracting as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- Add Mint: While the rhubarb base is still warm, add the fresh mint sprigs to the pitcher. Let them steep for about 10-15 minutes to infuse the flavor. The warmer the liquid, the better the minty flavor will meld. Remove the mint sprigs after steeping.
- Juice the Lemons: While the mint is steeping, juice the lemons. Aim for about 1 cup of lemon juice. Make sure you remove any seeds! I hate it when seeds end up in my drink.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the lemon juice to the rhubarb-mint base. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed, adding more sugar or sweetener of your choice.
- Chill: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. I usually leave it overnight because I'm impatient like that!
- Serve: When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice. Pour the Rhubarb Mint Lemonade over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint sprigs. Feel free to add a splash of sparkling water for a little fizz.
- Enjoy: Sip, relax, and enjoy the refreshing taste of spring!
