Syrups and shrubs let you build interesting layers of flavor and add body and sophistication to your drinks. GINGER SHRUB 1. In a nonreactive bowl (not copper, aluminum or cast iron), combine ginger, sugar and vinegar, stirring well until sugar dissolves. 2. Pour into a jar with a tight-fitting lid, such as a mason jar. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 days. 3. Using a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, strain out the ginger. 4. Pour the shrub back into the jar and store for up to 6 months in the fridge. Shrubs tend to separate, so shake well just before using. TIPS The longer you wait before straining, the more gingery your shrub will be. I like the spiciness of fresh ginger, but if you find it too strong, increase the amount of sugar by 1⁄4 cup (60 mL). In any recipe that calls for ginger beer, you can substitute this shrub plus club soda. Here’s the formula: replace the required amount of ginger beer with 3 parts club soda and 1 part shrub. MIX IT UP Instead of the apple cider vinegar, you can use a more neutral-tasting vinegar such as white wine vinegar or Champagne vinegar. Try turbinado instead of granulated sugar. It will give more richness and a hint of molasses to drinks that call for this shrub. Makes about 1 1⁄4 cups / 310 mL (10 oz) INGREDIENTS 3⁄4 cup (175 mL) chopped ginger root 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) apple cider vinegar
