Apple-Berry Shrub

From the kitchen of Carly

A tart, fruity shrub that transforms fresh berries and vinegar into a sophisticated mixer. Steep raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries with apple cider vinegar and a touch of sugar, then dilute with club soda for a bright, refreshing drink that tastes like summer in a glass.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 11 pint fresh (or frozen, thawed) raspberries, blueberries, and/or blackberries
  • 11 1/2 cups Bragg Organic Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 11/4 cup sugar
  • 1club soda

Instructions

  1. Make the concentrate: Bring 1 pint fresh (or frozen, thawed) raspberries, blueberries, and/or blackberries, 1 1/2 cups Bragg Organic Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar, and 1/4 cup sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; remove from heat. Steep for 30 minutes for berries to release their juices. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass jar, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Cover; chill until cold. DO AHEAD: Concentrate can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.

  2. For 1 serving, fill a 12-ounce glass with ice; add 2 tablespoons concentrate. Top with 1/3 cup club soda. Gently stir to blend.
