What is a Shrub?
A shrub is a concentrated syrup that is made with a combination of fruit, sugar, and vinegar. The syrup can be added to mixed drinks or club soda.
🧾 Ingredients
- Mixed berries: I used frozen berries. You could use either fresh or frozen.
- Sugar: I used white sugar because that's a key ingredient in a shrub.
- Vinegar: I used apple cider vinegar but you could also use rice vinegar or red wine vinegar.
