This slightly savory shrub has woodsy rosemary flavors and a hint of citrus. It's great over ice with gin and a bit of seltzer, but it's also refreshing without the booze.

  • Yield:makes 2 1/2 cups
  • Active time: 10 minutes
  • Total time:6-8 days
  • Rated: 5

Ingredients

  • 6 (5-inch long) sprigs rosemary
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed tangelo juice from approximately 4 medium sized tangelos
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar

Directions

  1. 1.

    Combine rosemary sprigs and sugar in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit at least 8 hours or up to overnight.

  2. 2.

    Add juice to the bowl and stir to help start to dissolve sugar. Let sit, covered, overnight, occasionally stirring. Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, add vinegar and stir to combine, then transfer to a bottle or airtight container using a funnel. Seal and store in fridge. After 3 days, start tasting for desired flavor: the shrub will mellow the longer the vinegar sits with the juice and rosemary essence. After 5 or 6 days, shrub should be ready to use.
