Apple Cider Shrub Mocktail Recipe
This Apple Cider Shrub Mocktail is the only drink you need this holiday season! It's tangy, fruity, and great for non-alcoholic & boozy options.
Servings: 8 servings, 1 oz of shrub per cocktail (2 Tbsp)
Ingredients
Shrub Ingredients
- ¼ cup granulated sugar $0.08
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar $0.14
- ¼ cup apple cider* $0.11
- 1 small apple, sliced (or ½ a large apple), to fill the jar to the top $0.62
(Optional) To Make Two Mocktails, You'll Need:
- 1 can sparkling water** $0.48
- fresh rosemary, for garnish*** $0.22
Instructions
- To make the shrub, add granulated sugar to a small, sterilized 6 oz mason jar.
- Then, pour apple cider vinegar on top.
- Finally, pour in the apple cider (or apple juice). You can stop here and skip to step 5 if you don't have any fresh apples on hand.
- If using, add thinly sliced apples to the jar until it's full, but not overflowing. The marinated apples add flavor but also make a nice garnish!
- Screw the lid on and shake until the sugar dissolves.
- Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
- To make two apple mocktails, add 1 oz prepared apple shrub to each glass over ice. Top them off with soda water and garnish with fresh rosemary (or your garnish of choice!).
