Shrub Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Strawberries

    Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and slice them into halves.

  2. 2

    Make the Shrub

    In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and sugar. Stir well and let it sit for about 30 minutes until the strawberries release their juices.

  3. 3

    Add Vinegar

    After 30 minutes, add the apple cider vinegar to the strawberry mixture. Mix well and transfer to a sterilized jar or bottle. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Drink Assembly

    Prepare the Glass

    In a glass, muddle the fresh mint leaves to release their oils and aroma.

  2. 5

    Add Lemon Juice

    Pour the fresh lemon juice over the muddled mint in the glass.

  3. 6

    Mix with Shrub

    Add 2 tablespoons of the strawberry shrub to the glass with mint and lemon juice.

  4. 7

    Add Ice and Seltzer

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to your liking and top it off with seltzer water. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick.
