At Tempo Dulu, inside the Danforth Inn in Portland, Maine, Trevin Hutchins makes this drink with a whole green cardamom pod gently muddled with fruit, which adds subtle spice. Historically, cardamom pods have also been used to aid in digestion and are purported to offer other health benefits.
Note: Hutchins uses rhubarb liqueur from Sweetgrass, a Portland winery and distillery. If a trip to Maine isn’t in your near future, try Art in the Age Rhubarb Tea Liqueur, Rhuby Rhubarb Liqueur or, in a pinch, Aperol.
