Its the most wonderful time of the month – Mixology Monday! Our deepest thanks to Scott from the Shake, Strain & Sip blog for hosting this month and giving a wonderful theme which is Temperance! We’re going to be using a shrub with pears, ginger, honey solution and pepper corn for our tasty cocktail, not to mention, its non-alcoholic.

Preparing our Spring Shrub for Easter

Spring Time Shrub:

Ingredients:

Shrub:

2 asian pears
1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup white sugar
1 1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp black pepper

Procedure:

Prepare the Shrub:

1. Cut up the pears and dice the ginger
2. Heat up vinegar & honey in microwave-safe bowl until warm
3. Combine everything in a non-reactive, air-tight container
4. Let the mixture sit for 2 days in a cool, dry place

Watch our previous video on shrubs to find out why we used hot vinegar this time instead of the cold extraction technique

Prepare the Soda:

Combine 2-3 parts soda water with 1 part shrub in a Collins glass over ice.

I can’t wait to see what everybody has contributed for this month’s theme and Happy Easter!
