      Rhubarb Margarita

      ·  thin lime wedges, for salt rim on glasses and final garnish

      · margarita salt for the jar rims, optional

      ·  1 c. Ruby Rhubarb Syrup

      ·  3/4 c. tequila blanco 

      ·  1 Tbs. orange liqueur 

      ·  1/3 c. freshly squeezed lime juice

      ·  1/4 c. freshly squeezed orange juice

      ·  chilled club soda

      1. If salting the rims of your glasses, lightly rub a lime wedge around the rims of four wide mouth pint jars (or other 16-ounce glasses) and then dip the rims in salt. Set aside.

      2. In a small pitcher, combine the Ruby Rhubarb Syrup, tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and orange juice. Stir. Divide mixture evenly between the four prepared glasses, just a bit more than 1/2 cup per glass. Fill glass with crushed ice to fill the glass 2/3 of the way. Top with club soda to almost fill the glass. With a spoon, gently stir the drink to incorporate the heavier rhubarb syrup mixture into the club soda. Squeeze a lime wedge over the top and then garnish with another lime wedge.
