RHUBARB WHISKEY

Official Recipe
Rhubarb Simple Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup peeled and chopped rhubarb
Boil 1 cup of water, add 1 cup sugar, stir until sugar is completely dissolved, add 1 cup coarsely chopped and peeled rhubarb, lower water to a simmer, let simmer covered for 20 - 60 minutes. The syrup should taste rhubarb-y but the rhubarb should stay mostly whole. If you overcook it the rhubarb will turn to mush and the drink must be renamed "Rhubarb Swamp Whiskey" still tasty - but much chewier. Once your syrup is ready - put into glass mason jar to cool and then refrigerate. Let sit at least one hour (a full day is better for flavor).
Once your rhubarb simple syrup is cool, add one part syrup to two parts rye whiskey (brand of your choice but don't go too high end, that insults the whiskey and brings bad luck -- we suggest Beam Rye or Makers if you need to get a little fancy). 1-3 ice cubes recommended. Now put on your favorite murder ballads album, drink up, and be careful -- it goes down a little too easy.
