1
Make the Persimmon Shrub
Start by washing and peeling the persimmons. Chop them into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Combine with Sugar
Add the sugar to the bowl with chopped persimmons. Mix well and let it sit for about 30 minutes to allow the persimmons to release their juices.
3
Add Vinegar
After 30 minutes, pour in the apple cider vinegar. Stir the mixture until the sugar is dissolved.
4
Strain the Mixture
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a clean jar or bottle. Press down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
5
Prepare the Spritz
In a glass, add 2 ounces of the persimmon shrub and fill the glass with ice cubes.
6
Add Soda Water
Pour 4 ounces of soda water into the glass with the shrub and ice. Stir gently to combine.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
