Home & Family: Strawberry Shrub

Daniel Kohler · August 4, 2015

Trust me on this one, drinking vinegar is great for you. A shrub is a vinegary preserved, fruit syrup that will keep you satisfied all Summer long. Stir some into soda water or shake it with a cocktail!

Summer Crush Cocktail

Daniel Kohler · July 29, 2015

We all have one. Sometimes it's the ringmaster of that traveling circus with ice-blue eyes, sometimes it's the lifeguard sitting perched atop a lookout, clad only in red. Wherever you may be in life, it is never too late for a summer crush. While I'm pining for that man in the top hat I will make do with this blush colored cocktail. A mix of tequila and my strawberry shrub, this couldn't be easier to assemble. Wow your guests with a non-margarita tequila drink and fall in love with this sweet sip.

Drink, Summer

Strawberry Piloncillo Shrub

Daniel Kohler · July 28, 2015

A shrub is nothing more than fruit preserved in both sugar and vinegar. The resulting brew is a bracing syrup, at once sweet and sour. Stir this into sparkling water all summer or shake it up with a cocktail and startle your palate. Vinegar has remarkable health benefits, but let us forget those in favor of its obvious flavor strength. Brew once and let this jar of power support you in the coming months.

Strawberry Shortcake

Red and dripping with juice, a plateful of strawberry shortcake is the quickest way to a smile-filled afternoon. Make quick drop biscuits in place of the shortcake and your dessert will be ready even faster.
