Cherry Shrub Soda revives a colonial American drinking tradition dating to the 17th and 18th centuries. Shrubs were fruit-based drinking vinegars used to preserve summer fruit harvests before refrigeration. Colonial Americans mixed these concentrated syrups with water or alcohol for refreshing beverages. The modern craft cocktail movement has revived interest in shrubs, bringing this historical preparation method back to bars and homes across America.
