Oh snap! This tart apple cider vinegar shrub is spiked with fresh ginger and floral hibiscus. What’s a shrub, you ask? It’s a fizzy syrup made from fermented fruit — in this case, fresh from the orchard apples, aged for a year in French oak wine barrels. No wonder it’s the Sonoma County company’s number one best seller. Whether enjoyed straight up or spiked with whiskey, this sweet, spicy and small-batch shrub is a true bourbon legend.
Tip of the Tongue:
Shake up your conceptions of what a shrub can do, by thinking beyond drinks and using it to flavor vinaigrettes, preserve pickles, or poach fruit.
