I brought this to a BBQ at a pregnant friends place because I knew she would appreciate something non-alcoholic but special. This was a hit and she couldn't stop raving about it. I altered it slightly: I halved the recipe which made 1 pitcher. I threw in a cup of strawberries and simmered them with the rhubarb, used honey in place of the sugar and used 2 cans of diet ginger ale. Delicious! I can't wait to make it again.
