What Is A Shrub Drink?

I'm constantly fascinated by how mixed drinks obtain their names-- and after browsing my fair share of bar menus, there is one term specifically I have actually constantly pondered: the shrub. What makes a beverage a shrub? As well as how did this word, which I relate to a clean yard, happened associated with mixed drinks?

" Shrub" is actually the name of two different alcohol-related refreshments, and also vinegar plays a pretty large function in this drink's background. One kind is a fruit liqueur that was specifically popular in 17th century England, made with rum or brandy, sugar, fruit and also citrus juice-- though vinegar was utilized as opposed to citrus to preserve berries in the off-season. This liqueur would certainly after that be blended with flat or carbonated water to create an alcoholic drink. The other type of shrub is a sweetened vinegar-based syrup that can be utilized to make a drink-- this is likewise called "alcohol consumption vinegar," as well as is generally instilled with fruit juice, natural herbs and seasonings.

The history of words "shrub" originates from the Arabic sharbah, which means "a drink," though "sherbet" and "syrup additionally come from this root. Do I pick up a theme? Shrubs stretch back to the Babylonians, who blended date vinegar right into water to make it secure to consume alcohol, and the Romans, that developed posca from incorporating vinegar and water.
