Yes. Our shrubs are preserved through fermentation not pasteurisation so the mother culture is still alive and active. They are fine out of the fridge for a day if you are travelling or taking them to a picnic but in general yes, keep them cool.

They won’t go ‘bad’ or ‘off’ but because they are a live ferment, they can get fizzy! For this reason we recommend you keep the shrubs refrigerated. If you think your shrub got a little too warm, open it very carefully and slowly over the sink in case it bubbles out. It will still be perfectly fine to drink but it can be a bit messy and we don’t want that for you.

We send you shrubs with at least 6 months best before dates. As long as they are kept in the fridge they will be fine long after this date but we're confident you will have finished them before that happens.
