Pineapple Shrub Cocktail

Looking for something new to try as an alternative to a mojito, margarita or sangria? A shrub might be your answer. If you’re not familiar with a shrub beverage (not the bush), it’s a fruit syrup, mixed with vinegar and water or alcohol. My bar team taught me this pineapple shrub recipe, which is also a great way to use the peel and core of a pineapple. There’s so much flavor left in those pieces that can be incorporated into your cocktail. For a refreshing non-alcoholic drink, try topping off the shrub with some soda water!
