Strawberry Rhubarb Cocktail

Strawberry Rhubarb Cocktail
Found this recipe in the the book “Shake - a new perspective on cocktails”. I tweaked it slightly by using a different jam and then made a second one without the seltzer. I think the seltzer takes away from the flavors so if you do use it for that “fizzyness” I would recommend just a small splash, you don’t want the drink watered down.

Ingredients:

1-2 Strawberries depending on their size. And a slice for garnishing
3-4 slices of Rhubarb and one sliced lengthwise for the garnish 
heaping tablespoon of jam. I used raspberry, you can use strawberry too.
½ Lemon
2 ounces of Vodka
*Optional* seltzer water
Muddle the rhubarb and strawberries then add the rest of the ingredients in your Boston shaker except the seltzer. Shake it well and then double strain it into your glass.
*Tip* it may take a while for your drink to drain from the cocktail sieve so I ussually use the muddler to help it along, mushing it up and down. 
after adding the ice and garnish you can splash in some seltzer if you so desire.
