About this recipe

This rhubarb prosecco refreshment is more than just a drink; for me it is a reminder of the first warm days of the year, of the awakening of nature and of convivial hours in the garden. My grandmother had a huge rhubarb bush in the garden, and every spring juice was cooked from it. The slightly sour taste, combined with the sweetness of the sugar, was simply unmistakable. This recipe is a tribute to these memories, refined with the sparkling elegance of Prosecco. The rhubarb juice forms the basis of this refreshing drink. Make sure to use a high-quality juice, ideally freshly squeezed or from an organic store. The rhubarb brings a pleasant acidity and a slightly tart note, which harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of the prosecco. The mineral water serves to make the drink a little lighter and fizzier. Choose a carbonated mineral water to enhance the refreshing effect. The prosecco, an Italian sparkling wine, contributes the fine perlage and a subtle sweetness. A dry prosecco (Brut or Extra Brut) is the best choice here to maintain the balance between sweetness and acidity. The fresh mint provides an aromatic note and a touch of freshness. The preparation in the Thermomix® is very simple. First wash the mint and carefully pluck the leaves. You can keep the stems for other purposes, such as flavoring a tea. Then add rhubarb juice, mineral water and prosecco to the mixing bowl. It is important that all ingredients are well chilled before they go into the mixing bowl. Mixing takes place at speed 2 for only 5 seconds. It should not be longer, so that the carbon dioxide of the prosecco is not lost. For a vegan version, make sure that the prosecco used has been clarified without animal products. There are now many vegan proseccos on the market. Instead of mint, you can also use other herbs, such as lemon balm or basil. A touch of ginger or a slice of lime gives the drink an additional exotic note. Serve the rhubarb prosecco refreshment in elegant glasses, such as champagne flutes or wine glasses. Fill the glasses with ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint leaves. A slice of orange or lemon on the rim of the glass makes the drink visually even more appealing. Light snacks such as olives, grissini or small cheese snacks are ideal as a side dish. The rhubarb prosecco refreshment should ideally be freshly prepared and served immediately. If you want to prepare it, you can mix the rhubarb juice and mineral water in advance and store it in the refrigerator. You should only add the prosecco shortly before serving so that it retains its carbon dioxide. The mint and ice should also only be added shortly before serving.
