About the Strawberry-Lemonade Shrub

A shrub is a drinking vinegar: fruit preserved with sugar and vinegar, popular in colonial America before refrigeration. A splash of vinegar gives this lemonade the same tangy edge.

Missing something?

  • No Strawberries? Use Strawberry Purée
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
  • No Simple Syrup? Use Rich Simple Syrup (More concentrated, so use less)
  • No Simple Syrup? Use Sugar (1 tsp sugar is about 7.5 ml syrup; stir until dissolved)
