Cranberry & Raspberry Fruit Shrub

This is a great alcohol-free drink to inaugurate the holiday season with. Make the shrub a few days before you intend to use it. If you want to fortify it with spirits add an ounce or two of white rum, gin or vodka. Try using brown sugar with rum. If you opt for gin adda couple of juniper berries to each cocktail. Happy Holidays!

Ingredients:

2 cups of Cranberries + for additional garnish
Brown Sugar/ regular sugar- 1 cup sugar
Water- 1 cup
3/4 cup A L'Olivier Raspberry Fruit Vinegar
Club soda- finish

Preparation:

Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 1

Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan.
Add the cranberries and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the berries are soft. Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a wide-mouth jar. Press the berries gently to release all their juice. Stir in the White Dressing. Cap the jar and refrigerate it until needed.
When ready to serve, serve over ice with club soda or choice of spirit. We like either Vodka or Bourbon.
