From the Publisher

Syrups and shrubs let you build interesting layers of flavor and add body and sophistication to your drinks.

GINGER SHRUB

1. In a nonreactive bowl (not copper, aluminum or cast iron), combine ginger, sugar and vinegar, stirring well until sugar dissolves.

2. Pour into a jar with a tight-fitting lid, such as a mason jar. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 days.

3. Using a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, strain out the ginger.

4. Pour the shrub back into the jar and store for up to 6 months in the fridge. Shrubs tend to separate, so shake well just before using.

TIPS

The longer you wait before straining, the more gingery your shrub will be.

I like the spiciness of fresh ginger, but if you find it too strong, increase the amount of sugar by 1⁄4 cup (60 mL).

In any recipe that calls for ginger beer, you can substitute this shrub plus club soda. Here’s the formula: replace the required amount of ginger beer with 3 parts club soda and 1 part shrub.

MIX IT UP

Instead of the apple cider vinegar, you can use a more neutral-tasting vinegar such as white wine vinegar or Champagne vinegar.

Try turbinado instead of granulated sugar. It will give more richness and a hint of molasses to drinks that call for this shrub.

Makes about 1 1⁄4 cups / 310 mL (10 oz) INGREDIENTS 3⁄4 cup (175 mL) chopped ginger root 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 1⁄2 cup (125 mL) apple cider vinegar

Title: Great recipes with REAL ingredients e.g. Sour Mix, can always add alcohol!
Review: Great recipes including syrups and "shrubs" (I didn't know what that was!) using real ingredients which makes any drink better, whether or not you add alcohol! Beautiful presentation photos. Makes it easier to not even need alcohol in these delicious, refreshing mocktails!

Title: Best low/no proof cocktail book I’ve ever seen!
Review: This book is beautifully designed and chocked full of great recipes. I have three other low/no proof cocktail books and this one is head and shoulders above. Unlike other books, these recipes are doable for the everyday cocktail-curious home bartender. It doesn’t require a bunch of crazy, hard to find ingredients, weird equipment or impossible techniques. Each drink includes a short description that is either a fun, personal reference or a quick education. Highly recommend and can’t wait to try every single recipe!!!

Title: Perfect simple recipes!
Review: I got this for my mom for Christmas since she doesn't drink and doesn't want to go to Starbucks as much for the lemonades. I looked at samples of so many other mocktail recipe books, and the ingredients were all so complicated! I wouldn't want to have to seek out a speciality food store just to obtain one ingredient for a mocktail that I'll never use outside of that single recipe. I appreciate that these mocktails are still fun and have a good variety of flavors, AND they use easy to obtain ingredients that can be reused for multiple purposes. My mom even found a few mocktails that are very similar to what she buys at Starbucks!

Title: Beautiful, Fun read....no headache
Review: My two New Years resolutions for 2021 are to drink less but have more fun and this book helps with both! Beautiful pictures, easy to approach drink recipes and no FOMO. I can still entertain and hold a delicious drink in my hand without the hangover the next day. I love Maureen’s approachability and how each drink has a story. Cheers to a fun read without the headache!

Title: Beautiful and Delicious!
Review: I love this book! Mocktails are new to me and this book gives me absolutely everything I need to get familiar with them. I'm always at a loss as to how to include non-drinking friends in on the fun of exploring new drinks. This book will be my go to for years to come! And not only do the recipes sound delicious, but the photography is gorgeous and makes me thirsty!

Review: If you are doing cocktails at home for friends and family, it's a cute addition to your library.Although most of ideas and recipes are already out there on internet, this book just brings all of them together.If you are a professional bartender, it's a nice 10 mins read, but doesn't give anything new in the perspective of studying new techniques for cocktails.✅Beginner❌Pro
