What is a Shrub?
Add a splash of shrub to water for a nutritionally dense and wildly delicious drink.
Using a method that goes all the way back to the Middle Ages, shrubs are fresh seasonal fruit and herbs that are preserved by fermentation in vinegar. Our shrubs are made the same way they would have been 500 years ago, by cold pressing and juicing whole produce and using homegrown and foraged herbs. They are made by hand, in small batches, without using heat to pasteurise or preserve.
In other words, a shrub is a kind of cordial that can be added to sparkling water to make a delicious and nutritious botanical soda.
Why are they called 'Shrubs'?
Shrub is an old English word for a fruit and vinegar drink.
Probably originating from the Arabic word 'sharab' meaning 'to drink' as shrubs were brought to 15th century England and adapted to medicinal tonics in early apothecaries.
Shrubs were very popular in colonial America, where they were first used in cocktails. Later, during the prohibition era, shrubs boomed as an alcohol-free alternative, served in bars and homes, utilising whatever fruity abundance was around.
Keep in the fridge.
Our shrubs are made traditionally, with cold pressed fruit and herbs that are fermented. Store them in the fridge and they will last you months.

I have never tried an apple cider vinegar quite like this one! The flavour is amazing, so crisp and reminiscent of biting into a crunchy apple. I'm enjoying a daily dose straight from the spoon and as a herbalist am so grateful for the added layer of flavour and medicinal benefits this beautiful tonic is adding to my herbal medicines.

Straight Up Apple Cider VinegarThis shrub is a perfect 👌 spring summer thirst quencher. It looks fancy enough to be a cocktail but without the calories or effects of alcohol. I have purchased this for myself and for my 3 daughters who all attest to its refreshing taste with added health benefits. They are also using it as an alcohol substitute for their afternoon tipples. It’s the best. 🥰🍹

Magnolia & PearJust a wonderful drink, a sublime and refreshing pick me up. You can so taste the quality and the goodness. I love that I'm getting a nutritious boost with a tasty drink. So much better than ordinary old sugary cordial.

Ooray Plum & Vanilla ShrubJust so delicious! I’m so glad I came across these. Makes my pre dinner drinky very special without the alcohol!

Pineapple Mint ShrubI am obsessed with this shrub. I’ve tried a few different shrubs now, and all are delicious, but the flavor in this one far exceeded my expectations. It’s so fresh and delicate- the mint is a delicious addition. Perfect over soda and ice as an afternoon refreshment, especially in summer.

Shrub Sampler BoxAn instant favouriteTried this one in the sample box and knew it would be a favourite. The balance of citrus with the turmeric is perfect.
Michelle Abel![Blood Orange Turmeric Shrub]()
Blood Orange Turmeric ShrubA family favourite! Sunshine in a glass in winter.Tried this in the sample box and had to order the full size after my 19 yr old decided this was better than drinking actual cocktails.
