Servings 1 Drink

Ingredients
  

  • 1 to 2 ounces blackberry shrub
  • ounces bourbon
  • 2 ounces soda water
  • 2 to 4 ounces ginger beer

Instructions
 

  • Combine ingredients in serving glass, stir to mix. Fill glass with ice. Top with fresh berry and sprig of thyme for garnish.

Notes

Note: Proportions of shrub to soda water differ depending on sweetness of shrub. No two batches are the same because fruit always varies in sweetness. Using different vinegars, herbs, and spices will alter flavor profiles — that’s the fun part. Proportions can be adjusted to preference. Try new herbs, vinegars, and types of sweeteners to create different blend.
