I have to make a run to the whole food store for vinegar before I start the next one. I've been using apple cider vinegar for years for all sorts of medicinal reasons so the vinegar taste doesn't offend me, and the drinks I've made with the shrubs poured over ice have been very refreshing in this oppressive summer heat. No one has been willing to try it...which is not all bad...actually good for me. :) I really appreciate you sharing the link and the recipe. Yours sure is a beautiful color...the idea of rosemary in a shrub did not appeal to me so I stayed with fruit shrubs.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01422984317015662163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286810285968169864.post-86160843521845382792011-08-22T20:38:47.753-07:002011-08-22T20:38:47.753-07:00I do like the shrub I made (raspberry/blueberry).....I do like the shrub I made (raspberry/blueberry)...enough so I've got one more in the works (raspberry/strawberry/blueberry) and the stuff for a third (cherry/vanilla).

I did go back to read the recipe, and I don't think I'd have a go unless I added 7UP or ginger ale. Hmmmm . . . . might be interesting to try with upcoming family celebrations!
