Ingredients

For the Rhubarb-Strawberry Syrup:

9 cups chopped rhubarb (from 10 to 15 stalks, about 2 1/2 pounds)
3 cups roughly chopped strawberries (from 1 quart, about 13 1/2 ounces)
2 1/4 cups (18 ounces) water
3/4 cup (about 5 1/2 ounces) sugar

For the Margaritas:

2 1/4 cups (18 ounces) rhubarb-strawberry syrup
9 tablespoons (4 1/2 ounces) fresh juice from 7 to 9 whole limes
3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) Cointreau or Triple Sec
3/4 cup (6 ounces) blanco tequila
5 drops orange bitters
6 strawberries (optional)

Directions

Make the Syrup: Add rhubarb, strawberries, water, and sugar to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let simmer until rhubarb breaks into strands, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, let cool. Discard solids (or reserve for another use).
For Margaritas: Mix rhubarb syrup, lime, Cointreau, tequila, and bitters in a sealable jar or pitcher. Serve immediately over ice, with strawberry garnish on the side of the glass if desired, or chill mixture (without ice) for up to 5 hours in the refrigerator. Re-stir and serve over ice.
