• 4 stalks rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 (750 milliliter) bottle Prosecco or other sparkling wine, chilled

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine water, rhubarb, and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until rhubarb is slightly broken down, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Add mint to rhubarb mixture and let sit for 1 minute. Strain mixture, discarding solids. Mixture should be syrupy. If it's too watery, return to stovetop and cook down more. Remove from heat and let cool completely, about 25 minutes.

Step 3

Divide syrup among 6 champagne glasses and top with Prosecco. Serve immediately.
