Method

Put the rhubarb into your sterilised jar. Add the caster sugar, orange zest and vodka. Seal and store in a dark cupboard for 1-2 weeks, turning or gently shaking every now and then  to dissolve the sugar and mix up the rhubarb.
Strain the vodka through a square of muslin  or a new J-cloth, then transfer to the sterilised glass bottle and seal.
Serve chilled in shot glasses, martini glasses or small champagne coupes, or in highball glasses with ice, topped  up with ginger ale or tonic water.
