Alton Brown's Cocktail Time: Shrubs

In this Good Eats video, Alton Brown makes a versatile fruit-based shrub. The base of the shrub is a mixture of black berries, sugar and water. Blended ingredients are strained, then a red wine vinegar and herbs are added. Shrubs can be used as a marinate, vinaigrette or add soda water to make an acidic, yet bubbly alcohol free beverage.
