    🥃 What is a shrub?

    A shrub is a vinegar-based syrup also known as drinking vinegar. It is usually a blend of vinegar, fruit and a sweetener of some sort. There are a few different techniques used for making a shrub syrup—all delicious! A shrub can be served a myriad of ways as we'll discuss below.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
    • 1 fresh mango diced (peeled and pitted)

    Instructions

    • In a saucepan over high heat add vinegar, mango, honey and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer (medium-low) and simmer for 15 minutes or until the mango has broken down and the mixture has reduced and thickened a little (reminiscent of syrup). Turn off heat and let cool to room temp.
    • Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the shrub syrup from the fruit pulp (see post for step-by-step images).
    • When ready to serve, fill a glass with ice, top off with shrub syrup and sparkling water. Use approximately 1/4 cup shrub syrup per 1 cup sparkling water (but feel free to adjust to suit your tastes!). Optionally, garnish with fresh sage before serving.
    • Keep the shrub stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
