The shrub just might be the most underrated ingredient in the zero-proof bar.
If you’re new to it, a shrub is made with fruit, organic cane sugar, and vinegar, blended into a concentrated element that adds lift and structure to a drink. It provides brightness, depth, and just the right amount of intensity.
It’s our secret weapon for building bold, balanced drinks that feel layered, complex, and impossibly refreshing.
In this month’s box, you’ll discover just how versatile a shrub can be. Expect bright acidity, subtle spice, and a layered finish that unfolds slowly — and pulls you back in for another sip.
We can’t wait for you to experiment with it this month and discover just how dynamic it can be.
Portland Syrups Grapefruit Tonic: Contains grapefruit, which may interact with certain medications. Please consult your healthcare professional before consuming if this may be a concern.
Recess Ginger Lime “Mule”: This blend is infused with guayusa and adaptogens, with 10mg of natural caffeine from guayusa for a gentle lift.
