Shrub & Co

You know I’m a sucker for shrubs. And while I certainly enjoy making my own, sometimes it’s best to leave the dirty work to the professionals. That’s where Shrub & Co comes in. I first heard about Shrub & Co from my friend Amy Hamilton from Just Relish catering who works out of a neighboring commercial kitchen space here in Berkeley. One sip and I was hooked. I immediately went out and bought every flavor I could find. Even though the holidays are in the rearview, I just can’t stop sipping the cranberry shrub with douglas fir. I find it goes perfectly with a little St. George terroir gin. Although, here I kept it non-alcoholic with just a splash of sparkling water and a candied cranberry garnish.

Looks d’lish. Will have to see if I can get that Shrub brand down here in Sydney. We have a local brand that uses only native Australian indigenous fruit, http://www.currong.com.au. (Like the garnish idea too!)

Where on earth do you get your glassware? I swear every glass is incredible.

I’m also in the bay so I understand if you don’t want to give away all your secret spots!

I don’t think I’ve ever had a shrub before. How do I go about making one?
Btw, colour of this shrub is just too gorg!

Wow does that sound good, that little hint of pine really makes it! And Todd, your cocktail photos are stunning, I could just sit and stare at this one all day.

Mmmm…I love shrubs. Looking forward to checking out Shrub & Co. And I’d probably add the gin…just saying! 🙂

I too love shrubs, so I’m sure I’d love this. Checking out their website right now!
