Once you’ve used Rhubi liqueur in this delicious twist on the classic aperitivo, you’ll probably want to experiment with rhubarb versions of all your favourite drinks.

Summer pineapple punch

This summer pineapple punch – a refreshingly retro big batch cocktail that’s easy to make and sure to please all party-goers. It’s refreshingly simple too, as the only spirit you need is a bottle of Haku Vodka.

Watermelon tequila-politan
