Take your cocktail or mocktail to the next level with this sweet Strawberry Shrub recipe. Made with only 3 ingredients!
I have been making a lot of shrub recipes recently. I like to put them in club soda or homemade kombucha.
If you have fruit that's starting to go, a shrub is a perfect way to use it up. Shrubs last for months in the fridge, so you can enjoy them at your leisure.
They are nice to have around if you get unexpected guests.
This Strawberry Shrub is sweet and tart. In addition to adding it to club soda and kombucha, it makes a great addition to a cocktail.

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
- Strawberries: I used fresh strawberries. You could use either fresh or frozen.
- Sugar: I used white sugar because that's a key ingredient in a shrub.
- Vinegar: I used rice vinegar but you could also use apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar.
