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.

Wonderful! -- Amy Stewart, author of The Drunken Botanist 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
