Cucumber Shrub

Refreshing, tangy & unique, Cucumber Shrub blends fresh cucumbers, cane sugar and vinegar into a traditional soft drink for use with our without spirits. We. of course, opt for the spirits. Cucumber martini? Blend 1 oz. Cucumber Shrub with 1 1/2 oz. gin or vodka, shake over ice, and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a cucumber slice. For a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage, simply blend with sparkling water and pour over ice. In the kitchen, make a simple and flavorful salad of sliced cucumbers and onions, bathed with cucumber shrub!

Cocktail bitters are an important ingredient in a well-made drink, but often remain an afterthought even with a growing focus on craft spirits and homemade syrups. Beginning with a 2015 Good Food Award to "Rizzo" (rosemary, grapefruit, and peppercorn)—the first bitters ever to win—Crude Bitters aims to change after- to forethought. "Lindsay" (pecan, magnolia, habanero) has since taken a 2016 Southern Living Magazine Good Food Award and Apothecary #15 (spruce & birch) took a 2017 Good Food Award.
