How to Make Sparkling Rhubarb Spritzer

  1. Combine 1 lb chopped rhubarb and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rhubarb is very soft.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Strain the rhubarb mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Reserve the juice and discard the pulp.
  5. Stir in ¾ cup granulated sugar to the reserved juice until completely dissolved.
  6. Add ½ cup pineapple juice and stir to combine.
  7. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  8. Just before serving, add 1 cup chilled club soda or sparkling water to each glass.
  9. Add ice cubes and garnish with fresh rhubarb slices or a sprig of mint (optional).
