Do it! I've not actually tried gin myself, but vodka infused with rhubarb for a couple of weeks (and a bit of sugar to taste) definitely works well.

Just don't do anything with the leaves! My parents used to have some rhubarb in the garden when I was young, and I had it drummed into me how poisonous the leaves were (not that I was the sort to go around eating random plants). Looks like "a 65 kg adult would need to eat 4 to 8 kg (9 to 18 lbs) [of leaves] to obtain a lethal dose"[0], although I guess you could still get pretty ill with much less.

Nice :) Yeah I'd definitely be adding some sugar too. In autumn we make damson gin, which tastes really awesome.

I'll definitely try the rhubarb soon with it.
