How pretty is this rhubarb soda with raspberry and mint leaf ice cubes? What a perfect early summer treat!
Flickr Find: Rhubarb Soda
The recipe for this rhubarb soda was created by Noema at the Berlin-based blog Intercultura y Cocina. We can only pick out a few words in Spanish, but the ingredient list is clear: rhubarb, sugar, water and soda water. Luckily, we have Dana's recipe for rhubarb syrup to follow, as well.
For the soda, use a 1:3 syrup to soda water ratio.
If our translation is correct, Noema confesses to having a love/hate relationship with rhubarb, which seems to be a universal phenomenon. For every person we know who loves rhubarb, there's another who can't stand it, and some who waver back and forth. But who could possibly turn down such a colorful and refreshing summer drink?
It's a great reminder that summer drinks can be fruity and fun without any alcohol. Cheers!

I've been making rhubarb italian sodas all week after making rhubarb syrup. I must have reduced the syrup too much, because my ratio of syrup to soda water is more like 1:10, and it's still pretty sweet. Tasty though!

Oooh, rhubarb soda, great idea. I made Dana's rhubarb syrup recipe on Monday! It's fantastic.
I used it to make a rhubarb cosmopolitan (and blogged about it here ) but a rhubarb soda sounds like a great non-alcoholic alternative.

Argh! I keep seeing rhubarb here, but can't find any myself.
I can't remember the company name, but I did have a rhubarb soda recently. That one smelled fantastic, but didn't taste like anything and wasn't sweet.
Needless to say, I seriously want to make my own now.
