The famous Rhubarb slush!!
______________
With summer in full swing, I wanted to share this post again – as I’m excited to welcome many new followers since I originally posted! You may also enjoy making Southwest Cups to accompany your sweet drink!

I’d like to take credit for this recipe, but in 1997, a family friend shared it with my Mom!!
After some begging by a couple followers:
“Recipe for rhubarb slush please…..?” Andrea
“Rhubarb Slush??? Is that something you make yourself?” Shandie
I’m going to give in and share my favorite summer drink recipe! Divas I hope the two of you especially LOVE this cocktail!!
Rhubarb Slush
8 c. rhubarb (cut up)
2 qts. water (8 c.)
1/2 c. lemon juice
3 c. sugar
1 pkg. strawberry jello (reg size)
2 c. vodka
Cook rhubarb until soft in 8 c. of water and 3 c. sugar mixture. Put through a seive (I use leftover pulp to make a crisp!) Add 1 pkg of strawberry jello. Stir well. Let cool. Add 2 c. vodka. Stir; put into ice cream pail. When cool, freeze. Wait 3 days. Serve by filling glass 1/2 full with slush and half Sprite, 7-Up or even Ginger Ale!
I highly suggest you dress up your drink to really Surprise & Delight!
ENJOY!
So this summer my roommate and I are hoping to throw a dinner party, and I am thinking this might make the perfect drink. I always like the summer because we have interns in our office and it is always nice to have more younger people around.
Yummy does that ever sound GOOD!
Enjoy Dale!! You’ll be hooked! Have an amazing day sweetie!!
Thanks, Robyn – this looks like my pie recipe only in an alcoholic way! I can’t wait til my plant matures! By the looks of this, I will have to plant another one.
Ha ha! You crack me up – I’d love to get your pie recipe Heather!
I’m going to give this an attempt tonight! I enjoyed it so much the other evening!
Fabulous Stacey! I hope you had fun making it Stacey – now to wait 3 days to start enjoying ;)

Can I get the crisp or any other recipes you may have to use the pulp from the slush. I hate to throw it out.
Thanks Chris
Hi Chris! I’ll have to do some digging aka raiding of my Mom’s collection – not a real domestic goodness…. any rhubarb crisp recipe should work!? Have fun!!
