We want to help you thrive while following the low FODMAP diet, and thirst quenching beverages are part of that, too! Here, low FODMAP rhubarb and fennel combine to create a gin-based cocktail, perfect for the warmer months.

Ingredients:

Rhubarb Purée:

  • 1 medium (about 115 grams) stalk of rhubarb, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup (99 g) sugar 
  • ½ cup (120 ml) water

Assembly:

  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) gin (I like Hendrick’s)
  • ¼ teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 4 ounces (¼ cup/60 ml) of sparkling water
  • Lime wedge
  • Optional: fennel fronds or a slice of rhubarb stalk for serving

Preparation:

  1. For the Rhubarb Purée: Combine rhubarb, sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook until mixture is pink and slightly syrupy, about 12 to15 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a blender and purée until smooth (you should have about ½ cup (120 ml) rhubarb purée), you can keep it in your fridge in an airtight container for a few weeks.
  2. For Assembly: In the bottom of a high-ball glass, muddle the fennel seeds with the gin. Add 2 tablespoons of rhubarb purée. Top off with the sparkling water. Add ice, garnish, and serve.

Notes:

Tips

  • Some rhubarb is very green when ripe, some is pink and some is deep red. That can all have great flavor, but pink and red varieties will give you a better look.
