Shrub

Shrub, also known as drinking vinegar, is an old-fashioned drink mix concentrate that has been revived from America’s colonial era. During the busy late summer and fall harvest days, when many crops were ready to be picked and processed for use throughout the winter, some fruits and berries would begin to become overripe. The overripe fruit was combined with vinegar in a wooden barrel and left to safely preserve in this state until later in the winter when honey or sugar would be added to it, resulting in a fun and nutritious drink.

When crafting our homemade shrub, we extract all the natural goodness from our own fresh fruit using our Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. Then, we strain the fruit and vinegar mixture, add sugar, and cook it down into a concentrated fruit syrup. This resulting "Shrub" can be mixed and served as a cocktail or used as a natural alternative to soda. It can also be used to create a delicious salad dressing similar to vinaigrette. Note: while it can be drank straight out of the bottle we do not recommend it, see some recipe instructions below.

Enjoy Shrub knowing it is completely natural. No artificial colors or flavors are added. Shrub is a beautiful reflection of the fresh fruit used to create it!

Our 10 oz. bottle of Shrub will make over 60 oz. of drink!
