This Raspberry Shrub is sweet and tart. It's perfect for entertaining and lasts for months; so it's perfect for drop in guests.
Shrub recipes have been my latest obsession. I have been adding a few tablespoonfuls to my kombucha or to a club soda.
They are a great way to use up fruit that's about to go bad. They are perfect for anyone who entertains a lot because they last for months. As long as you have club soda and a shrub on hand, you can whip up a flavored drink in seconds.
This Raspberry Shrub can be made with fresh or frozen raspberries, so it can be made any time of the year.
You could also add it to lemonade. A couple of my lemonade recipes are Vanilla Lemonade and Lavender Lemonade.
