Give It A Shot – Creating, Blending and Tasting Shrubs or Drinking Vinegars
Today we have the payoff to last weeks show. Thanks to an article in Imbibe Magazine, that Keith has diligently saved for several years, we have a tasting of shrubs. What are shrubs? Known also as drinking vinegars they are simply a blend of vinegar, fruit and sugar. Most recipes call for apple cider or Champagne vinegar, but when it comes to the fruit portion the skies the limit. For the batch that Keith made he used a blend of mixed fruits and apple cider vinegar. During the show we will discuss a bit of the history of this beverage along with a tasting of the concentrate and how it blends with our.... wait for it.... sparkling natural mineral water! See how we did that? Tied it all together. Enjoy! If you have any ideas for future episodes of "Give It A Shot" or just have a question, you can always send us an email to AboutBeverages@q.com.
