Learn how to make a Cherry Shrub! It's a cold-processed tangy but sweet syrup that tastes great mixed in sparkling water or spirits. It's simple, complex in flavor, and perfect for any occassion.
0 In a large jar, combine the halved cherries, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, and balsamic vinegar. Seal the jar with a clean ring and lid, place in the refrigerator for 7-14 days. Gently stir once a day to help the sugar dissolve and flavors to meld together.
2 After a minimum of 7 days, use a fine-mesh strainer to separate the shrub from the solids. Transfer the shrub into a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to 3 months.
3 When making a drink, combine cherry shrub and 100% tart cherry juice with 4 ounces of plain sparkling water. Garnish with a fresh sweet cherry, gently stir and serve.
4 Adjust the drink to your taste preferences. Add more shrub for a tangier, vinegar forward drink. Add more sparkling water for the opposite affect.
