Raspberry Shrub
A shrub, also called a drinking vinegar, is a mixture that combines fruit, vinegar and sugar in equal parts. You can use any fruit you want but frozen raspberries work well and look festive, especially with a sprig of rosemary or thyme. This recipe keeps for up to 3 months, and you’ll have plenty to use throughout the season.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed and juiced)
- 1 apple
- 2 cups coconut sugar
- 2 cups apple cider vinegar
- 8 ounces seltzer, kombucha*, or sparkling apple cider
DIRECTIONS
- Juice fresh or thawed raspberries and apple, and then combine the juice with sugar in a bowl.
- Cover and set the raspberry syrup in the refrigerator for about two days.
- In a fresh jar, add the vinegar to the raspberry syrup. Top with a lid to save in the fridge for 3 months.
- Pour your choice of liquid into a glass with ice, add a few tablespoons of the shrub, to taste, to the glass and stir.
- Garnish with a sprig of rosemary or thyme.
TIP
Look for homemade shrubs at your local farmers’ market, liquor store or online if you don’t have time to make your own.
