What is a Shrub? The word Shrub comes from the Arabic word sharab, which means to drink. In the dictionary, Shrub is defined as an acid fruit drink.
Good Stuff Pick: Fruit shrubs are based on Colonial era recipes and are drink concentrates made with fresh fruit vinegar, organic unbleached cane sugar, and spices. They can be mixed with sparkling water (1 part Shrub to 8 parts water) to make festive non-alcoholic drinks and also to flavor wine and champagne. It's just as refreshing to serve for a brunch or a festive backyard BBQ, like my Fresh Squeezed Mimosa. (WATCH VIDEO)
Today's refreshing beverage is perfect for a steamy hot day, like today. Cheers!
