Tart, vibrant, and only here for a short time — rhubarb is one of spring’s brightest arrivals. From crowd-pleasing desserts to a blushing pink gin cocktail, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite ways to put this seasonal star to good use.
Rhubarb Gin Fizz
Tart rhubarb meets the floral spice of Grains of Paradise in this refreshing spring cocktail. The spice adds a gentle heat and complexity — think Ginger meets Cardamom — for a drink that’s bright, uplifting, and ready for warm-weather sipping.
Chimichurri Rhubarb Slaw
Rhubarb takes the spotlight in this vibrant, crunchy slaw. Often overlooked as a vegetable, raw rhubarb brings tart, fruity brightness and a satisfying snap. It’s paired with a colorful mix of purple cabbage, carrots, and shallot for layers of flavor, texture, and eye-catching appeal. A vinegar-based dressing seasoned with our bold Chimichurri Spice blend ties it all together, adding earthy depth and mild heat. It’s the perfect spring side — fresh, zippy, and anything but ordinary.

Rhubarb Regelach
This recipe is a true keeper, with a surprisingly easy-to-make dough that relies on the magic of whipped butter and cream cheese. While the soft dough chills, prepare a luscious jam with a classic pairing of strawberries and rhubarb. Cook it down to the perfect consistency, ready to be spread and rolled between the dough. For a tantalizing twist, we chose the concentrated flavor of Ginger and added a secret ingredient — Mace. This lighter and peppery spice complements the tangy fruit, enhances the lemon zest, and fills the jam with a sweet and aromatic spice allure. Get ready to savor each bite of these heavenly treats.
