I made rhubarb soda a long fourth dimension agone together with it was together with thence good, I idea I'd revisit it amongst a novel twist: mint! I appear to pair rhubarb most oft amongst ginger (like my rhubarb ginger pulled pork together with rhubarb yogurt muffins) precisely I mean value it goes good amongst mint every bit well. In fact my strawberry rhubarb mint jam was the inspiration for this soda.
