Seasonal fruits merge in this homemade cranberry-apple shrub recipe, which gets even more depth of flavor from cider vinegar. Mix the shrub with seltzer for a full-bodied soda, or spike with vodka or whiskey and a squeeze of lemon juice for a cocktail.

  • 1 cup turbinado sugar
  • ½ cup apple-cider vinegar

Preparation

Use a muddler or wooden spoon to crush the cranberries. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat.

Store in refrigerator, and use within two months.
