Matchbook Distilling Co. "Elsewhere Strawberry-Ruhbarb Aperitivo"

"Strawberry Rhubarb Elsewhere is quintessential North Fork summer with an elsewhere twist. We started this summer aperitivo at the beginning of rhubarb season, mashing the rhubarb in hot water and sugar before adding a rum we had distilled with rhubarb some seasons prior. When strawberry season hit, we repeated the process, only adding a distillate of buddha's hand and fresh jasmine in the place of the rum. We then combined the two fruit infused spirits and added quassia for a little bitter balance and a juicy Macedonian juniper for a little alpine contrast."
