A beautiful revised edition, with foreword by Paul Clarke, and 10 new recipes. "A shrub is exactly what the people who invented the phrase 'slake your thirst' had in mind. A shrub is full of character and variety. The ingredients--fruit, sugar, and vinegar--are as simple as can be. But the variations are seemingly unlimited. It has another superpower: A strong shrub game can help you make the most of bruised or aging summer fruit." -The New York Times, in an article featuring Shrubs Michael Dietsch took the mixology community by storm when he brought back a popular drink from colonial times, the shrub. Not the green, leafy kind that grow in the ground, but a vintage drink mixer that can be spiked with alcohol or prepared as a soda. Drinkers, bartenders, and the media embraced the book. This new edition features a foreword by Paul Clarke, the Executive Editor of Imbibe magazine and author of The Cocktail Chronicles. Here is the definitive guide to making and using shrubs.

Dietsch includes a large section (it felt large) on the history of shrubs, which at times seemed repetitive, but was interesting none the less. He then describes the various processes of making shrubs, which was what I was looking for. Do you add the fruit, sugar and vinegar all at once and steep? Do you cook the fruit or vegetables first? Do you only steep the fruit in the sugar? When do you infuse the vinegar, and why? All these questions were answered. Then come the various recipes for shrubs, and last; recipes for the drinks made from shrubs. Photographs are lovely, apparently taken by the author's wife.
The recipes were what I was looking for. Inspiration and suggestions for modifications, with a lot of encouragement to experiment with flavors. I was somewhat disappointed that there were not more mocktail recipes included in the book. The whole reason I started learning about shrubs was because I cannot have my tasty cocktails anymore. About the only suggestion he has for mocktails is to use some shrub and soda water. I had figured that out already, and while it is delicious, I believe more can be done, in fact, I have made some very tasty mocktails with coconut water and other liquids. Sadly, a replacement for martinis has not happened. Oh well, can't have everything. ( )
