Shrubs are an often beautiful way to preserve a moment in the season and an excellent refresher on a patio somewhere at dusk. Try mixing this one as a light cocktail over ice with 2oz. shrub, 2oz. amontillado sherry and club soda to finish.
6 cups blueberries
3 cups white granulated sugar
3 cups sherry vinegar
club soda, to serve
Macerate fresh blueberries with sugar, mashing to release the juices. Let sit in refrigeration for 4 days to 1 week.
Add 3 cups of sherry vinegar. Stir well to combine and let sit for 1 week.
Strain, mashing the fruit to extract as much of the juice as possible.
To serve, pour 2 oz. of shrub over ice and top with club soda.
