Ian's Strawberry Rhubarb Rum Fizz

Had a blond moment reading this recipe out of my cousin Ian’s small cookbook “Eggs” when I thought he left out the rhubarb component. Once I read the description I realized he was getting the rhubarb flavor from Aperol which is made with rhubarb. I had no idea. I was organizing recipes and stumbled upon this and realized I actually had all the ingredients in my pantry/fridge so I wanted to try it immediately. It really does taste like a strawberry rhubarb pie cocktail and the frothiness from the egg whites is quite delicious.

Ingredients:

2 fresh strawberried, hulled

2 oz white rum

1 oz aperol

1 oz cream sherry

Angostura bitters

1 egg white

What To Do

Muddle the strawberries in a cocktail shaker. Add enough ice to fill the shaker halfway, then add the rum, aperol, sherry, bitters and egg white. Shake until your hands are very cold, about 45 seconds. Strain into chilled coupe and serve.
