A shrub is a traditional vinegar-based syrup dating back to the 15th century. Bristol Syrup Co. Raspberry Shrub is a twist on a classic raspberry syrup; we've taken bright, fresh raspberry notes and made them sharper still with the addition of vinegar. This syrup makes many great pick-me-ups, and its sharpness pairs particularly well with bourbon.
The vinegar's astringency cuts through richness rather than sitting on top of it, making this shrub a genuinely interesting addition to iced coffee—stir a small amount into a cold brew or iced Americano for a sharp, fruity edge that wakes up the whole drink. It also works beautifully in sparkling sodas and shrub-based mocktails, where that tangy, vinegar-forward character shines rather than needing to be masked.
Serving suggestions: this zingy raspberry syrup makes an exceptional Collins, try swapping it out for sugar for an interesting twist on the Old Fashioned, or keep it classic with a Blinker. Once you've perfected those, let your creative juices run wild and use this shrub as the foundation for your own signature drinks.
Supplied in a 750ml glass bottle, perfect for busy bars, cafés, cocktail lounges and home use wanting genuine shrub character on hand year-round.
