What’s a shrub? Think of it as a vinegar-based fruit syrup that can be used in myriad ways: as a cocktail mixer, as a refreshing cooler with sparkling water, or as a juice concentrate to ramp up the flavor of many dishes.

This drink is hundreds of years old and has recently become popular again. Brought from England by colonists, shrubs have a rich history in American cooking.
