Curtain Call: rhubarb, lemongrass and salted meringue fizz
Shake cold, then without ice, for a tighter cap. Two or three grains of flaky salt on the foam. Do not batch the foam. First drink or last drink. If something must sit beside it, make it salty and small. This is the no-alcohol pour. Serve it in the same glass as the cocktail.
This is the base recipe: one batch, 1 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.

Rhubarb syrup one week. The foam is a same-glass job. Do not batch it.
- Rhubarb syrup1.5 oz
- Chilled lemongrass tea1 oz
- Fresh lemon juice0.8 oz
- Aquafaba0.8 oz
- Chilled soda water2 oz
Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- Nothing cooks, so batch size does not change a cooking time. Chilling does not scale either — it is set by the depth of the container, so a double batch in one deep tub takes far longer than two shallow ones.
- Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for curtain call: rhubarb, lemongrass and salted meringue fizz, not a certified kitchen test.
- Amounts below are one batch: 1 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
- This dish can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Cold storage is the real limit — do not make it ahead if the fridge is already tight.
- No heat. Assemble from cold ingredients. Keep covered until service.
- Hold time is short (8 min). Finish close to service. Do not guess a longer hold.
- Drink pairing: This is the no-alcohol pour. Serve it in the same glass as the cocktail.
- Leftover route: Rhubarb syrup one week. The foam is a same-glass job. Do not batch it.
- Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Fridge units: 1 per batch, so 1 batch takes about 1 shelf-thirds while it waits.
Base recipe: one batch, 1 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 12 minutes at the stove either way.
Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
