Rhubarb Slush

Used half the sugar, limeade instead of orange concentrate, and Tequila for the liquor. Rhubarb Margaritas!

I never considered using rhubarb like this, THANKS.. I think this is really dependent on personal tastes for sweet and tart levels. It really is good AS IS for a mixed group. If you like margaritas… you might try dropping the orange juice adding some frozen limeade and using tequila. Play with the sugar and consider a salt plate for the glasses.

Very refreshing. For us, the gin didn’t add anything (I made it both ways to check); so this is one that could be served to anyone.

I love this recipe but you definitely do not need all the sugar. I followed the recipe exactly the first time and I wish I would have taken the advice of other reviewers and cut the sugar in half. I would have liked to taste the tartness of the rhubarb more

Very good although it doesn’t taste much like rhubarb.

Used the rhubarb water, half the sugar, and club soda. Easy and delicious!

This was too sweet for my liking and the orange concentrate over powered the taste. A few changes to make: Use only 1 can pink lemonade, no orange. Add half the sugar. Serve with Club Soda. **Also, use the left over water from the rhubarb pot as the water in recipe to add more rhubarb flavour**

I have made this recipe so many times as well as shared it others (after they tried it) more times than I can count! I make it w/o the alcohol so the kids can have some too! I have made it with both frozen rhubarb but saving the juice once it is thawed for part of the water, and also made it fresh. It keeps FOREVER, well ok at least several months, until the next batch of rhubarb is ready. I use both lemon/lime soda or lemonade, whichever the person so chooses. IT IS A MUST at cookouts or just on a nice summer day/evening!!!

I did a few things different. I used frozen thawed rhubarb and measured out 6 cups of rhubarb with rhubarb juice. It is puréeable at this stage but you still gotta cook it or you’ll get sick. Ask me how I know! This increases the rhubarb flavor over the original recipe I’m sure. I brought the rhubarb up to a boil with the 2 cups sugar and three cups water. I recommend using the full amount of sugar and using carbonated water later rather than short the sugar and use soda as the mixer because more sugar makes it easier to scoop out and slush up from a frozen state. Besides, wouldn’t you rather have your extra sweetener be sugar rather than HFC? I agree with most of the other reviewers that it is too sweet if you use all the sugar and then top it off with Sprite. I have never in my life seen a 6 oz can of frozen juice, so I used 12 oz. That was probably wrong. Next time I will use half of it and see how that goes. I would like the rhubarb flavor to be dominant. Then I doubled the alcohol. 1 cup of gin is not very much for as big as this recipe is and you’ll add something fizzy later too. Alcohol also keeps it scoopable in the freezer, but it’s easy enough to add it during serving to keep everybody happy.

Best cold drink ever on a hot day!

I found a new use for my rhubarb. This is a good drink and so handy to have in the freezer.

Made this for friends and I’ve made it several times until I ran out of Rhubarb. Used Gin and it was perfect!

Just finished making this and used 9 cups rhubarb 1 1/2 cups sugar, small can frozen pink lemonade and small frozen can OJ. Could not wait to try it and added a scoop into an ice filled glass topped with tonic. This is great!!!! My husband is a big tonic fan but likes a little something extra in it for a different flavour. This fills the requirement.

A good refreshing slushy, although I altered it a bit. First I cut the recipe in half and I think next time I would cut the lemonade and orange juice in half again, it kind of overpowered the rhubarb. After I cooked the rhubarb I let it cool (while I was making dinner), then I mixed it and the juice concentrates, a bit of water and a bunch of ice in my blender. It was very refreshing, everyone enjoyed it.

I made this to share with the sailboat crew after a race. It was surprisingly delicious. I looked for the recipe as kind of a joke. “Oh, ya, let’s have a drink made with rhubarb!” Haha. The joke was on me–it was very good!

Loved this idea. I changed it up quite a bit, though. I cooked the rhubarb in 8 cups of water then stirred in 2 tubs(2 quart size) of strawberry Crystal Light drink mix and 2 cups of vodka. I pureed it with my stick blender.It was a big hit on a hot Memorial Day. Very refreshing.

I made a batch as part of a camping breakfast. The slush didn’t stay frozen overnight in the cooler so I served it over ice with Diet Sierra Mist . My fellow campers who are awesome cooks gave the recipe a thumbs up. Thanks!

This was a good Slush. It wasn’t too strong. I may try vodka next time.

TASTE GREAT–I ONLY ADDED 1CUP OF SUGAR AND NO ALCOHOL–FROZE SOLID!! NEXT TIME I’LL ADD ALL THE SUGAR IN HOPES IT WON’T FREEZE SO HARD AND THEN MIX WITH CLUB SODA NOT LEMON LIME POP. EVEN THE KIDS LIKED IT– AND THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING AT MY HOUSE!

My husband swears this is the BEST slush ever! I go about making it a little differently. I put my chopped rhubarb in the saucepan and usually I toss in 1/2-1 c raspberries for color. Once tender, rather than draining and blending I just use my immersion blender. Then add the remaining ingredients (but only HALF the SUGAR) and I always use Brandy instead of Gin. Its so quick and easy – and delicious. UPDATE: I made this tonight with Blackberry Brandy and Grape juice concentrate instead of Orange (again 1/2 the sugar). Delicious! I think this might be my favorite version now.

A good way to use a lot of Rhubarb. I used rum instead of gin and it tasted great. I also recommend using a flavored sparkling H2O instead of pop as this recipe already has a lot of sugar. Four Stars.
