Right before serving, stir ingredients together in a pitcher.

RHUBARB SYRUP:
1 stalk rhubarb, roughly chopped
1 cup sugar

Place all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until rhubarb is soft. Remove from heat and puree in a blender. Pass through a fine sieve to remove any rhubarb fibers. Refrigerate until ready to use.
