Notes from the Bar
That Signature Strawberry Shrub
This cocktail features our homemade strawberry shrub, which adds a juicy twist and light acidity. It needs to be made ahead, since the fruit sits in sugar for 24 hours before vinegar is added. Find the shrub recipe here.
Crushed Ice > Cubes
This one shines over crushed or nugget ice, which gives it a summery, refreshing texture. Bonus: it holds the grapefruit garnish beautifully in place.
Rim or No Rim
We like a salted rim for added complexity, but it’s just as good with a clean pour and fresh fruit on top.
