Another thumbs-up, it was great with plain soda water, also with a sparkling mineral water, although I preferred the former. I had 2 lbs. of rhubarb, no lemongrass (alas, quarantine shopping) but I subbed in some lemon balm and liked that. I used the discarded pulp in place of bananas in a banana bread recipe, and that was delicious, too.
Made this with equal parts Soda and Cava. Looks beautiful in your glasses and tastes wonderful!
I doubled the rhubarb and did rosemary instead of lemon grass because I didn’t have any. I also added vodka and serve it over ice. It was really good.
