Farmers’ markets are bursting with berries, and when you get home with your haul the first thing you ask yourself is: what do I make with all of these? The answer should almost always include: make a shrub. This acidic fruit syrup is a brilliant addition to all types of mocktails and cocktails, and is even delicious just served over ice with a splash of sparkling water.
