Let’s upset the apple cart and make one of these snazzy drinking vinegars. Simple to make, a shrub is a sweetened vinegar syrup that is typically fruit based. Historically, the vinegar was used to preserve the fruit, but now it’s the hip thing to use in your cocktails, providing a tart and sour element. Fashioned to use in the Kool-Aid cocktail, stay tuned for other shrub recipes and other cocktails which utilize this one. Cheers!
