Frequently Asked Questions About Raspberry shrub
What is a raspberry shrub?
A raspberry shrub is a sweet-tart fruit-and-vinegar syrup used to make drinks. It is usually diluted with still or sparkling water, though it can also add a fruity, sharp note to cocktails and other recipes.
How do you make a raspberry shrub at home?
A raspberry shrub is commonly made by combining raspberries with sugar to draw out their juice, then mixing that fruit syrup with vinegar. Letting the mixture rest helps the flavors meld; recipes vary in their proportions and method.
What does a raspberry shrub taste like?
A raspberry shrub tastes fruity, tangy, and distinctly sweet-sour, with a noticeable vinegar edge. Dilute it with more water or sparkling water if you prefer a gentler flavor.
How do you use raspberry shrub in a drink?
Add a small amount of raspberry shrub to a glass, then dilute it with still or sparkling water and adjust to taste. Its concentrated fruit-and-vinegar flavor also works as a mixer in cocktails.
Is raspberry shrub the same as drinking vinegar?
Raspberry shrub is a type of drinking vinegar: it combines fruit and vinegar, often with sugar, as a drink concentrate. The term “drinking vinegar” is broader and can describe similar fruit-and-vinegar preparations.
Can you drink raspberry shrub without alcohol?
Yes, raspberry shrub is non-alcoholic on its own. Mix it with still water or sparkling water for a non-alcoholic drink; alcohol is added only if you choose to use the shrub in a cocktail.
How should you store raspberry shrub after opening?
Keep opened raspberry shrub refrigerated and tightly covered. For homemade shrub, use a clean, sealed container and discard it if its appearance, smell, or taste changes in a way that suggests spoilage.
Can raspberry shrub replace raspberry syrup in a recipe?
Raspberry shrub can replace raspberry syrup when you want a sharper, more tart result, but it is not a flavor-for-flavor substitute. Its vinegar adds acidity, so start with less and adjust the other ingredients to taste.
Which vinegar works best in raspberry shrub?
Apple cider vinegar is a common choice for raspberry shrub because its fruity character pairs well with raspberries. Other vinegars can work too, but a more assertive vinegar may make the finished drink taste sharper.
Can you use raspberry shrub in food as well as drinks?
Yes, raspberry shrub can be used in food as well as drinks. A small amount can add sweet-tart acidity to a salad dressing or marinade; add it gradually so the vinegar does not overpower the other flavors.

What is Raspberry shrub?
Raspberry shrub is a tangy-sweet drink syrup made by combining raspberries, sugar and vinegar. Shrubs grew out of fruit-preserving traditions and became especially familiar in North American drinks; the concentrated mixture is usually diluted rather than sipped straight.
Mix a little into still or sparkling water over ice for a refreshing drink, or use it as a tart-sweet accent in a cocktail. Its fruity aroma is balanced by the sharpness of vinegar. Nutritionally, it is mostly a source of carbohydrate, with very little protein or fibre. For a lighter glass, use less syrup and more sparkling water; mint or citrus makes a fresh pairing.
