Introducing RHUBY, A New Spirit from Art in the Age
Like ROOT and SNAP, RHUBY is based on a centuries old Pennsylvania recipe and is totally unique in the marketplace. There has never been anything like it…at least not since 1771. This is the year Ben Franklin sent John Bartram America’s first rhubarb seeds. Bartram proceeded to make a delicious garden tea with rhubarb, beets, carrots, lemon, petitgrain, cardamom, pink peppercorn, coriander, vanilla, and pure cane sugar. We took this recipe and turned it into a spirit!
Watch the video below for the full story of RHUBY.
There are as many ways to enjoy Rhuby as there are vegetables in a summer garden. Below are a few recipes to help you get started experimenting on your own. Enjoy!
