El Ruibarbo

This refreshing drink is clean and crisp -- with a kick. The allspice notes in the bitters highlight the fresh rhubarb flavor, while the brandy adds depth.

This recipe calls for a porron, which is a communal glass drinking vessel native to Spain. You can order it online via www.latienda.com or buy it locally at Salt & Sundry in Union Market.
