Getaway in Brooklyn was comfortably full for a Saturday night, when I came in to try my first “shrub”—an acidic beverage made from vinegar, fruit, sugar, club soda, and zero alcohol.
I ordered a carrot-and-ginger shrub and hoped it would be palatable. I was pleasantly surprised, drank the whole thing and, voila, was not even tipsy. Even more exciting: my bill. It was a mere $15 for two drinks and a bread bowl—to soak up the non-alcoholic beverages, of course.
