Festive Shrubs & Summer Sips

Whilst Shrubs and Switchels might seem like new kids on the drinks block, they were actually quite popular back in the 17th century. Now, these vinegar based drinks are enjoying a modern day resurgance as a tasty, healthy alternative to sugary sodas, juices and commercial kombuchas.

What is a Shrub?

A shrub refers to a mixed drink using a vinegar syrup ... or simply the base syrup itself, with the latter also being referred to as Drinking Vinegar

    What's Switchel?

    Switchel goes by many names including switchy, ginger-water & haymaker's punch. It's a traditional drink made from water mixed with vinegar, and fresh ginger ... then sweetened with molasses, honey or maple syrup.

    The good news is, we make both, unfiltered with the MOTHER of vinegar!
