Rhubarb cordial:
· 80 g Rhubarb stalks
· 150 g water
· pinch of salt
· 1 whole strawberry (mine was 25 g)
· 1,25 g lemon peel
· 80 g sugar
· 0,6 g pectinex
· juice of one lemon (peel it first)
· 3 g citric acid
Cook the rhubarb stalks in water with a pinch of salt for 3 minutes on medium heat. Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend it thoroughly. Leave it to sit for at least an hour then strain it through a really fine strainer. Use the purée to make ice-cream.
Rhubarb soda:
· 60 g Rhubarb cordial
· 240 g water
Chill both in the fridge and carbonate the mixture with your preferred technique (I used a home carbonator).
Ice cream:
Mix all the leftover purée from the cordial with full-fat yogurt (half the weight of the purée). Add gin (go for 10% weight of the mixture) and mix it thoroughly. Freeze it in a freezer.
Lemon powder:
Dehydrate the leftover lemon peels in a dehydrator for 3 h at 70°C or 155°F. Grind with a mortar and pestle to get a nice powder. Add to the side of the glass for some extra lemon flavor.
Rabarbarosa:
· 50 ml (1,66 oz) Malfy gin Rosa
· 100 ml (3,33 oz) rhubarb soda
· 1 drop of saline solution

[@KevinKos]

Have you ever used rhubarb? Was it for a cocktail or cooking/baking?

[@UnclePete]

I make Rhubarb Syrup, and I infuse the leftovers in gin to make an amazing rhubarb gin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqqaq3d3aptsbqc

[@robifiser]

My mother-in-law usually makes "kompot", or preserved rhubarb, cooked with water and sugar and sealed in a jar for future use.

[@sarahaklee]

Rhubarb pie is delicious and a staple in my grandma’s house growing up! Yum!

[@NicholasFiennes]

Apple and rhubarb crumble with lots of hot custard. Yum!

[@toekneetoughnuts428]

I experimented with rhubarb and strawberry fruit leather. All natural, no added sugar, delicious.

[@phantomhandofcocktailtime6911]

Rhubarb and strawberries are a match made in heaven!!

[@Barprints]

Truer words were never spoken!

[@fabiovedroni560]

can't believe this channel has only 5k subscribers.

[@TheWeePearl]

I know. It’s a travesty!

[@KevinKos]

Thanks a lot to both of you! I hope that this number will keep on rising and that we will inspire a wider audience. Also, The Wee Pearl's channel is awesome so expect that number to rise too.

[@TheWeePearl]

@@KevinKos oh god please. I’ve been stuck at 300 Forever lol

[@KevinKos]

@@TheWeePearl it will rise evntualy for sure.

[@antonbuushansen7816]

I love the attention to detail here, like how you labelled the cordial with the actual releasedate of the video!

[@KevinKos]

Glad that you like it!

[@vidzvinz]

This video is amazing and in my opinion this channel deserves a million subscribers.

[@KevinKos]

Thank you for that! Cheers!

[@JSOS]

Loving the idea of lemon powder. I must get a dehydrator soon. Wonderful cocktail again 👍

[@KevinKos]

It's a great tool for sure. Thank you so much!

[@robifiser]

Having cut the rhubarb from our backyard it was awesome seeing this from the start to end, and using it for multiple things! Great job, Kevin!

[@KevinKos]

Thank you for the rhubarb Robi!

[@TheSpiritoftheCocktail]

WOW!! This is very interesting. There seems to be a lot of good flavors going on. Thanks for sharing this!!!!

[@KevinKos]

Thank you Tim for watching it.

[@LiquidMemoir]

Ice cream and cocktail pairing? Say no more. Sharp apron! Looks even better on camera

[@KevinKos]

I like both and in his case, they were really well paired together. Thank you!

[@CoachVinoLLC]

That soda machine was awesome. Feels old school and modern at the same time. What can be said about the cocktail that hasn’t already been said? Absolute genius!

[@KevinKos]

Thanks, Vino! Yeah when I saw that machine was on sale I didn't think twice! Works great too.

[@stevencervantes9931]

Oooh! Definitely going to try this. Refreshing summer cocktail. Cheers!

[@KevinKos]

Nice! Can't wait to see your Rabarbarosa. Cheers!

I must create this for my girlfriend! It was soooo refreshing.

[@KevinKos]

She will love it!

[@PatrickJaszewski]

Great video, Kevin. So much care went into making that cocktail, but the results look awesome!

[@KevinKos]

Thank you, Patrick. I am glad that you like it.

[@cocktailswithlele4042]

Such a great video! Love the zero waste cordials!

[@KevinKos]

Thank you so much Lele!

[@welltaboualaphanh4651]

Love your work and enjoyed making your custom apron to suit your style. Looks great. Thanks for the shoutout!

[@KevinKos]

Thank you! I love using it! It's the best apron I have ever wear for sure.

[@DrinkInDigital]

The apron is STYYYYYLIN! Have said it before but every aspect of this creation was so a.e.s.t.h.e.t.i.c.

[@KevinKos]

I love it too. I am glad that Wellta made it for me. Thanks!

[@utkuakinci7825]

brilliant as usual

[@KevinKos]

Thank you!

[@Barprints]

Rhubarb is so underrated! Great seasonal flavor in a cocktail!

[@KevinKos]

And there are so many options to use it!

[@TheWeePearl]

I love this combination and the ice cream is fantastic! #zerowastelife That is the mist baller soda stream I’ve ever seen!

[@KevinKos]

Thank you so much! It's nice to see these words coming from an expert as you are! Cheers!

[@theamateurbartenderpark2390]

It's little tricky cocktail for me but I have to try this! It looks really, really delicious!!

[@KevinKos]

Hope you enjoy. Thank you!

[@boozeontherocks]

Very Nice. You have some very nice detail work.

[@KevinKos]

Thank you, David!

[@Tajciika]

Love it❤️🍓

[@KevinKos]

Thanks!

[@FlourEggsYeast]

Extremely impressive level of detail Kevin, well done! Kindly, Theresa and Cam

[@KevinKos]

Thanks a lot for watching! Wish you a great day, Theresa and Cam.

[@carl_busch]

Some great techniques. Love the look of your soda machine. We have a soda stream but if that breaks I know what I am buying next.

[@KevinKos]

The soda streamer looks great and goes together with all my barware. It's a nice piece of equipment. Thanks, Carl!

[@GreatBritiain]

Found this channel today, absolutely in love with everything so far! So many good ideas and inventive ingredients! One common theme though, you really need to sharpen that knife! 😂

[@KevinKos]

Welcome, aboard! I am glad that you found it. Haha, you are absolutely right! I sharpened it right after I saw this episode 😅

[@christinecamley]

So delicious!! I love zero waste!

[@KevinKos]

Thanks!

[@christinecamley]

@@KevinKos Love the Malfy Gin!! Love your creations!!

[@kumiskucing6687]

Nice mr kevin!!

[@KevinKos]

Thanks!

[@DavidRamseyIII]

Thank you for offering to ship this to Australia so I don’t have to make it. Very generous :)

[@KevinKos]

Haha, maybe it would go bad until It will be delivered to your doors. I have a better suggestion. You should visit Slovenia one day and come by to the bar I work, so I can prepare it for you 😁

[@MrHighRaw]

To maintain the complete zero waste experience, I have been poisoning my neighbours with the leaves.

[@Dksam69]

Hey Kevin ! I have a question for you ! I want to do your recipe but i want to subdue the rhubarb and strawberry cordial by a lacto-fermented rhubarb and strawberry sherbet ! Do you think i will achieve the same acidic/tart to sweetness ratio ? Thanks a lot cheers

[@dannyk1818]

I love rhubarb so I’ll be shopping for some tomorrow :) I never would have bought (or known about) pectinex or agar if it wasn’t for you guys, now I get to show off when we eventually have people over again, so many new techniques! I don’t actually have a dehydrator, do you think the same temp would work in an oven for the lemon peels?

[@KevinKos]

So happy to hear that! You can do it in an oven too. Just set it at the lowest temperature possible.

[@NicholasFiennes]

Have you heard of the Drinkmate? It’s designed for carbonating pre mixed liquids. You can even add the spirit before carbonation.

[@KevinKos]

I haven't until now. The Drinkmate would have done a better and more efficient job for sure. Thanks for that!

[@NicholasFiennes]

@@KevinKos they’ve got a Mother’s Day sale on now

[@Barprints]

A soda siphon works great in a pinch as well!

[@ansoneckel2552]

Wow this is super cool. Just don't have a way to make carbonated drinks. I want to think of ways to use the cordial! To your question to rhubarb, I love making strawberry rhubarb pie! One of my favorites in both childhood and adulthood!

[@KevinKos]

You can try to make any gin, tequila, vodka.. sour with it, or just mix it with sparkling water for the same cocktail I did. I am glad that I bring back some of your childhood memories. Thanks a lot!

[@Barprints]

If you've got a soda siphon, you can carbonate any cocktail you want! Works best with clear liquids! 👍

[@AngryCocktails]

My other half also makes dehydrated citrus from the peels I use making oleo sachharum

[@KevinKos]

Nice to hear that. There are still a lot of flavors in the things that we often throw away.

[@drissadrao]

How long will the cordial last for? Thank you

[@DavideGiovanni]

No offense to the British, but the Italian Gins are the best!

[@KevinKos]

Malfy Rosa surprised me with the taste for sure. Otherwise, I am not a big fan of flavored gins.

[@bartender4226]

Greeting from Greece my friend.could you give us some details about the vacuum sealer you use??cause I’m interested to buy one that can seal liquids

[@KevinKos]

Greetings! It's a vacuum machine bought in Aldi (Hofer in Slovenia) and it's one of the cheapest ones out there. It doesn't seal liquids, so I have to be careful with vacuuming/sealing, but it gets a job done just great. Thanks!

[@kaiderhaiii]

Got a question: if you mix the cordial with water before carbonating, why even go through the hassle and not just mix it with carbonated water in the first place?

[@KevinKos]

That would be a better idea for sure.

[@lioleono1539]

where did you get pectinex ?

[@KevinKos]

Spencial ingredients.com or local winemaking specialized store

[@codysmith3914]

Using a carbonator like that is dangerous. The sugars can go back into the machine and get really sticky, which causes the mechanical parts to not operate correctly. The last thing you need is a faulty pressure release valve... Ka-Boom! o0
