Tap a step to mark it done

1 To make the shrub, add granulated sugar to a small, sterilized 6 oz mason jar.
2 Then, pour apple cider vinegar on top.
3 Finally, pour in the apple cider (or apple juice). You can stop here and skip to step 5 if you don't have any fresh apples on hand.
4 If using, add thinly sliced apples to the jar until it's full, but not overflowing. The marinated apples add flavor but also make a nice garnish!
5 Screw the lid on and shake until the sugar dissolves.
6 Let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
7 To make two apple mocktails, add 1 oz prepared apple shrub to each glass over ice. Top them off with soda water and garnish with fresh rosemary (or your garnish of choice!).
