Ingredients

2 cups rhubarb stalks, chopped
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled, halved
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
6 cups sparkling water (chilled)
as needed ice cubes

Instructions

1

Combine 2 cups chopped rhubarb stalks, 2 cups hulled, halved fresh strawberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
2

Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit breaks down completely and the mixture thickens slightly, about 12 to 15 minutes.
3

Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
4

Strain the shrub through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or container, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
5

Cover and refrigerate the shrub syrup until completely cold, at least 2 hours.
6

To serve, fill a glass with as needed ice cubes. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of shrub syrup per glass and top with 6 cups sparkling water (chilled). Stir gently and taste, adjusting the amount of syrup to preference.
