Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 cups rhubarb, chopped
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 (12 oz) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 2 cups ginger ale or lemon-lime soda (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the rhubarb is very soft.
- Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, discarding the solids. Allow the liquid to cool completely.
- Stir in the lemon juice and thawed lemonade concentrate into the cooled rhubarb liquid.
- Pour the mixture into a large freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours or overnight, stirring occasionally to break up ice crystals if you want a smoother slush.
- To serve, scoop the frozen rhubarb slush into glasses and top each serving with a splash of ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. Stir gently and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a boozy version, add a splash of vodka or gin before serving.
- If you prefer a sweeter slush, adjust the sugar to taste.
- Store any leftover slush in the freezer and stir before serving again.
