Calvit's Shrubs - TOMATILLO/TAMARIND with Hibiscus - Handmade drinking vinegar mixer for soft drinks or craft craft cocktails (8 oz)
Drinking Shrubs Shrubs, also known as drinking vinegars, originated hundreds of years ago as a way to preserve fruit juice using vinegar and sugar. In recent years, craft cocktail enthusiasts have revived this venerable elixir, greatly to the benefit of the modern drinker.
How To Use COCKTAIL: Mix 1 oz. of shrub with 1 oz. of your preferred spirit (if you like the taste of liquor at the forefront, use a bit less shrub); add club soda or tonic to taste. A good squeeze of lemon or lime is almost always a fine idea. Feel free to experiment! SOFT DRINK: For a delicious, all-natural, hand-made NA refreshment, pour about 1 oz. of shrub into a tall glass with club soda and/or tonic water (about a 1-to-4 ratio) and ice. A squeeze of lime? Sure.
Flavor Profile/Suggested Pairings Tomatillos are the "verde" in most Mexican cooking, with a wonderful sharp tangy bite. Tamarind adds a nice sour funk. The hibiscus brightens things with its lovely floral qualities, and adds nice color. Calvit's Tomatillo/Tamarind Shrub makes an excellent tequila mixer, and also adds character to a Bloody Mary.
All Natural Calvit's Shrubs are made with piles and piles of fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables, with no flavor syrups or concentrates, and sweetened with unrefined cane sugar. Fizz your own water, and you have a delicious, refreshing beverage produced entirely outside of the industrial sugar-water complex!
About Calvit's Shrubs I started making shrubs when I needed something interesting to drink after I quit drinking. After a bartender introduced me to shrubs, I started playing around with different flavor combos myself, and enough friends and relatives told me, "Man, this stuff is delicious!" that I decided to try selling it. The fact that my custom-created non-alcohol drink alternative is also a fabulous cocktail mixer amuses me greatly.
