Shrub

Bright citrus oils and tart lemon juice meet deep, warm rum and a simple sugar syrup to create a sweet-tart, intensely aromatic cordial. The finished shrub is a golden-amber, boozy syrup with a pronounced citrus bite. Drink it neat as a sipper or dilute/mix into cocktails for a complex, refreshing lift.
