Rabarbaro & Tonic
Smoky Chinese rhubarb root against dry quinine. Two ingredients, no compromise.
The Method
How to make it
- 01
Fill a highball glass to the brim with ice.
- 02
Pour in the rabarbaro.
- 03
Add cold tonic down a bar spoon to keep the carbonation intact.
- 04
Express a lemon twist over the surface and drop it in.
Bartender's Tip
Fill the glass completely with ice. A half-filled highball melts fast and turns a crisp bitter drink into flat rhubarb water within minutes.
A Little History
Rabarbaro amari are built on smoke-dried Chinese rhubarb root, a botanical that reached Italy along the same trade routes as quinine. Zucca has been made in Milan since 1845 and was the house drink of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele.
