Reviews
These are very refreshing and a nice change from the standard margarita. The strawberries on the bottom of the glass is a nice touch, so you get a little bit of strawberry with each sip. I did cut the tequila down to 1 cup and the rhubarb syrup, I added 1/2 cup. My guests did like them. The leftover cooked rhubarb from making the syrup I used over ice cream..nummy.
This recipe was delicious! I highly recommend making the syrup the day before so you have time to chill it and also since the whole recipe with the syrup and mint is time consuming when you want to bring it to a party or serve at your house. If you do not like strong margaritas I recommend cutting down the tequila first tasting and then adding. I like margaritas but even for me they were a bit strong. Also if using pre-made orange juice, you may want to decrease the syrup since the store OJ already has sugar.
I tried to replicate the recipe exactly as written. (I only made a two-serving portion However, the on-line recipe is incomplete because it does not indicate the measurement for the rhubarb syrup. I kept adding the syrup by tablespoons and stopped at 4 tablespoons for 1/2 of the recipe. Next time I will probably use less tequila and increase the rhubarb syrup slightly.
