In case you're wondering...a "shrub" is a concentrated syrup that combines vinegar, sugar and fruit. It's a great mixer that can be enjoyed on its on or used in mixed drinks.
In a one liter mason jar or container add the fresh botanical ingredients. Pour the balsamic over the fruit and allow to “infuse” for at least one hour or up to four hours under refrigeration. The longer it sits, the more pronounced the flavor of the fruit infusion. Strain and keep refrigerated and tightly covered for up to one month.
To serve, add 1-2 tablespoons of infused drinking vinegar (shrub) depending on your preference for sweetness to 8 oz. of chilled sparkling water. Serve over ice if desired. Makes between 16-32 servings depending on amount added to water or cocktails.
You can add this to your favorite spirit in place of or combined with sparkling water for a great cocktail mixer!
Serves: 16-32
