Publisher's Synopsis
If you've never had a shrub before, it's just about the most refreshing thing you can think to drink-especially in the summer. It starts with a syrup that's a combination of vinegar, fruit, and sugar. The fruit tastes like its truest self and the vinegar cuts right through it. Add it to a glass, then bubbles to make it bright. The alcohol is optional but awfully good.
This book A beautiful edition for shrubs according to colonial times, plus more new recipes.
"A shrub is exactly what the people who invented the phrase 'slake your thirst' had in mind. A shrub is full of character and variety. The ingredients―fruit, sugar, and vinegar―are as simple as can be. But the variations are seemingly unlimited. It has another superpower: A strong shrub game can help you make the most of bruised or aging summer fruit."
-The New York Times, in an article featuring Shrubs
