Shrub Pairings

 

Our shrubs are made for entertaining, for one or for many. A splash in sparkling water with a muddle of herbs or a cinnamon stick makes a non-alcoholic spritzer on its own - add a jigger of your favorite spirit and you’ve got a top-notch home bar. They’re good in the kitchen too: drizzle them with olive oil, salt and pepper over fish, meat or vegetables before roasting, or whisk one into a vinaigrette.
