Bourbon Shrub Cocktail

Bourbon Shrub Cocktail

Serves: 1

Ingredients

For the cocktail:

2 oz bourbon

1 oz apple shrub

3-4 dashes bitters

Ginger beer

2 apple slices

For the shrub:

1 ¼ cups apple of choice, chopped

¾ cups sugar

1 cup apple vinegar

Instructions

To make the shrub, add apples, vinegar, and sugar to a jar. Refrigerate and let sit for three days, then strain apples out of the liquid. To store, place liquid (shrub) in a airtight container in the fridge. 

For the cocktail, fill a rocks glass with ice and add bourbon, apple shrub, and bitters. Stir, then top with ginger soda and garnish with apple slices.*

*If you’d like a stronger, old-fashioned-like cocktail, leave the ginger soda out of the drink.
