marsh ruby GRAPEFRUIT shrub

  (We'll be closing by the end of the year, and won't be making this again. This is it!) Our marsh ruby GRAPEFRUIT shrub is not too sweet, intensely grapefruity, with a touch of bitterness and bright tartness (I like to think of it as a concentrate for a grown-up Squirt soda). We infuse the grapefruit zest in the syrup for a month, so the resulting flavor is complex and rich and ultra-grapefruity. Add a splash of grapefruit shrub to a white (or rosé) wine to transform it into a grapefruit aperitif wine reminiscent of vin de pamplemousse. You could keep it low ABV and simply serve the wine+shrub over ice, or for a more traditional fortified wine potency, add a splash of vodka to the glass as well. cheers! To make a shrub soda, mix 1 part shrub to 5-6 parts sparkling water.   FEATURED COCKTAIL: GRAPEFRUIT Shrub Paloma• 1½ oz tequila blanco• 1 oz marsh ruby GRAPEFRUIT shrub• 4 oz sparkling waterAdd ice, grapefruit shrub, and tequila to glass, stir to chill. Top glass with sparkling wate
