Huckleberry Shrub
Serves8–10
Ingredients
- 6 ounces huckleberries (about 1 cup)
- 1½ cups sugar
- 1 cup white wine vinegar
- 8–10 cups club soda
Instructions
- Place huckleberries in a 1-qt. jar. Bring sugar and vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar.
- Pour hot vinegar mixture over berries and mix with a fork, crushing berries gently to release more flavor. Seal jar and store in a cool dark place 4 days.
- Strain shrub through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a clean jar; cover and chill. Check shrub every week or so until vinegar flavor mellows to your liking.
- For each drink, combine 3 Tbsp. shrub with 1 cup club soda in a glass filled with ice. Taste and add more shrub if you like.
- Do Ahead: Shrub can be made 6 months ahead. Keep chilled.
