We are at one of my favorite intersections of growing seasons around here. (Equal to that of cucumbers & tomatoes.) It is of course, the marvelous combination of strawberries and rhubarb. As I was pulling today's post together, I was ever so tickled (yes, tickled) to see that I've shared a strawberry and/or rhubarb recipe nearly each June on this here blog. So, it's a tradition!I love traditions...
2008's Strawberry Rhubarb Jam
2007's Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins
And I am ever so pleased to introduce to you the latest installment in the SouleMama Strawberry-Rhubarb Collection:

The Ruby June
6 oz Rhubarb Soda (you'll need rhubarb, sugar, and sparkling water)
1 oz white tequila
appx. 1tsp fresh lime juice
Serve over ice. Funky vintage glasses option, but strongly recommended.
{And while it's totally a personal decision, and I have NO interest in 'debating' the issue, I do want to pass on an informative little note about breastfeeding and alcohol for those of you who have shared with me your concern.}

So I know I asked YOU for names, but in the end, SoulePapa came up with The Ruby June, which stole my heart (or my taste buds), and I just couldn't imagine it any other name. (I'm a little biased to his name suggestions - he did, after all, come up with three out of four winning Soule baby names.)
Honorable mention (and a little prize!) goes to the following three of you for the fabulously fun name suggestions:
Soule Sipper - BOATBABY
Rhubarbarita - Melissa
white ruby - kelli
That was really fun - thanks, you guys! And here's wishing you a weekend full of Ruby Junes, or Rhubarb Soda, or strawberry rhubarb muffins or whatever you may desire in celebration of whatever growing season you may be enjoying!
