If suddenly you find yourself in the possession of, like, a million rhubarb stalks (anyone else have this problem? **crickets**) Here's what the internet told me to do with them, and this is truly delicious and super, super easy:

1. Wash and cut rhubarb into smallish pieces.
2. Put into large pot with one cup water and one cup sugar.
3. Bring it to a boil and then let simmer for 20 minutes or whenever you remember it
4. Strain out all of the fibers using a cheesecloth, or if you're super fancy like me, a piece of paper towel
5. Put all of the remaining liquid into a seal-able jar and put it in the fridge.
6. Voila! Add vodka and tonic. Drink.

Other options:
G&T&R - gin and tonics with a splash of rhubarb!
vodka and lemonade
etc

Best part about this is that it makes almost any drink super pink. And that's the primary reason I drink Campari*, so this is awesome.
