I’ve had this recipe idea on my “to-shoot and share” list on my computer all summer long, and each time I tried to make it something came up and I ended up shooting something else. Somehow Banana Pudding Cake and Breakfast Polenta Bowls just seemed like a higher priority. Then when I had given up all hope on this lemonade, and came to the conclusion that I would have to wait until next year to make it, I found a mountain of rhubarb at my local grocery store. Without even thinking about it, or looking for it. I took it as a sign from above and decided that it was either now or never. So I purchased an obscene amount of rhubarb and strawberries, and spent an even more ridiculous amount on lemons (much more than I would’ve if I just bought lemonade from the store, let’s be honest), but I told myself that it would all be worth it in the end because booze would be involved, and lemonade and booze just go so well together. Don’t let anyone tell you other wise. Am I right or am I right? Now…I’m no monster, I know that for a lot of you rhubarb might not be in season anymore, so if that’s the case, I highly recommend you make it with just strawberries because it’ll still be hands down the best lemonade you’ve ever had. Feel free to quote me on that.
