✨ Raspberry Shrub Master Formula ✨
Why this works:
I designed this shrub like a cordial with the same balance you’d get from a classic sour cocktail spec — 1 part fresh lemon juice to ¾ part simple syrup (made 1:1 by weight).
It makes it super easy to swap into cocktails or sodas without messing up the balance.
Why it tastes so good:
I reduced the acetic acid (vinegar) a bit and replaced that missing acidity with citric acid solution.
A lot of people find too much vinegar harsh, so I swapped some of that tang for the bright, juicy acidity we naturally associate with lemons.
This gives you a more complex, refreshing mouthfeel — like a lemonade vibe instead of straight pickle juice.
How to use it:
For every 100 g raspberries, add:
67.5 g sugar
42.5 g water
2.1 g citric acid
82.5 g vinegar (7% strength)
Macerate the fruit and sugar overnight to pull out all the berry flavor.
Add water, vinegar, and citric acid.
Stir well, strain, bottle, and chill.
Keeps for weeks in the fridge.
Scale up or down: Just adjust the fruit weight — the rest follows the same ratio.
Perfect for sodas, spritzes, cocktails, or just a splash with sparkling water.
