Savory and Sweet Shrubs: Tart Mixers for Delicious Cocktails and Mocktails

By Michael Dietsch

Michael Dietsch took the mixology community by storm with Shrubs, the definitive guide to making and using the vinegar-based, Colonial-era drink mixer. In this companion collection, he expands on the concoction's versatility by embracing the fresh flavors of herbs and spices. Using everything from mint, sage, nutmeg, and peppercorn to lemongrass, vanilla, and green and black teas, readers will love experimenting with unique infusions such as Cilantro Lime Jalape o, Passion Fruit Mint, and Banana Pineapple Nutmeg. Dietsch provides recipes for 50 shrubs as well as dozens of cocktails, mocktails, and craft sodas that feature them, including the Fruited Gin and Tonic, which features a pomegranate, grapefruit, and ginger shrub, or the Strawbanero Highball with a strawberry habanero shrub. Complete with full-color photography, Savory and Sweet Shrubs is a must-have addition to every bar cart and bookshelf.
