Sun and Shrub

This is my new go-to hot weather refresher. It can be hard to get rhubarb flavor into cocktails, but I have a secret weapon: Liber and Co's awesome Rhubarb and Ginger Shrub. A tart and citrusy combination of this shrub plus lemon juice bring out the agave flavors of blanco tequila, while a touch of St. Germain sweetens things up and adds a floral accent.
