Best schnapps ever! This is soooo dangerous, I could drink the whole bottle myself. Mixes real well with Sierra mist, sprite. I was really pleased with the results, now I just have to find more rhubarb to make more, as my rhubarb looks as if it has died. Mine sat for 3 months before I bottled it and tried it, smoothest drink I ever had...like I said....dangerously good.

I have a similar recipe for Rhubarb Liqueur...and it's sooooo yummy!! I let mine sit for six months before trying it.
