The tart rhubarb shrub and hints of rhubarb flavor in the Aperol play off each other really nicely in this drink. I used Four Roses Yellow Label Bourbon here, but plug in your favorite bourbon for mixing if you don't have Four Roses on hand.

Note: To make simple syrup, combine 1 cup water with 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Cool before using. Simple syrup will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
