Raspberry Shrub Soda

Prep Time 15 minutes
Makes 1 serving

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 oz raspberry shrub from above
  • 4 oz chilled soda water
  • ice
  • 1 lemon twist for garnish

Instructions

  • Combine the raspberries, vinegar, and sugar in a small jar, mashing the berries lightly with a fork until they release their juice.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, shaking the jar once a day, until the sugar fully dissolves and the liquid turns deep pink; the shrub keeps refrigerated for one month.
  • Strain the shrub through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean jar, pressing on the solids to get every drop, and discard the pulp.
  • Fill a highball glass with ice.
  • Pour 1.5 ounces of the raspberry shrub over the ice.
  • Top with the chilled soda water and stir once, gently, to keep the bubbles.
  • Garnish with a few whole raspberries dropped in and a lemon twist on the rim.

Good to Know

This batch makes enough shrub for six drinks, and it only improves after a week sitting in the fridge.
