This is a great cocktail base that brings out some of the best flavors of early spring. Use it to create a is for sipping or mix it with soda or champagne. Rhubarb Blood Orange Shrub Mix plays off the rise of the shrub cocktail. Shrub cocktails can be bitter, so this adds a touch of sweet to the base and allows you to play with the flavor and make it new again.
Although this is designed as a concentrate, it can be poured over ice and used as a drinking vinegar.
