Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
- 2-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup granulated sugar (can substitute honey or maple syrup)
- 1 cup filtered water
- Sparkling water or club soda, for topping off
- Fresh lime juice from 1 lime (optional)
- Ice cubes, for serving
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine chopped peaches and sliced ginger. Add granulated sugar and stir gently until sugar begins to dissolve. Let sit at room temperature for about 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Pour in apple cider vinegar and filtered water. Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours (up to 48 hours) to allow flavors to develop.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar or bottle, pressing solids to extract liquid. Discard solids.
- To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) of shrub syrup over ice. Add about 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice if desired. Top with about 8 ounces (240 ml) sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently.
- Garnish with a thin slice of fresh peach or a small piece of candied ginger. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
If shrub syrup tastes too sharp after resting, add 1-2 teaspoons sugar and stir until dissolved. Let syrup come to room temperature before mixing for better flavor. Use ripe peaches for best flavor. The shrub syrup keeps up to 2 weeks refrigerated. Can substitute white balsamic vinegar for milder taste or sparkling ginger beer for more fizz.
