Alyson Brown of Wildfolklore crafted and photographer another gorgeous infused botanical cocktail creation using our shrubs. Alyson’s book The Flower Infused Cocktail will be released this June and contain a few more Shrub recipes! 

Pom Margarita

• 4 oz Altos Tequila repasado

• 2 oz Cointreau

• 3/4 oz Sauvie Shrubs Pomegranate Ginger Shrub

• 3/4 oz maple syrup

• 1/2 oz lime juice

• Black salt for rim

Recipe makes 2. Rim glasses with black sea salt and set aside. Combine the tequila, cointreau, pomegranate ginger shrub, maple syrup and lime juice together in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into your prepared glasses and garnish with a slice of lime and pomegranate seeds.

It’s another Shrub-a-Rita recipe, but it’s summertime and no one is keeping track, plus Shrub with Tequila are a match made in heaven.

Strawberry Hibiscus Vanilla Bean Shrub-A-Rita

• 2-4 oz Strawberry, Hibiscus & Vanilla Bean Shrub

• 1.5 oz fresh lime juice

• .5 oz white tequila or mezcal (substitute with sparkling water for non alcoholic version)

• 1/2 oz Triple Sec

• 4-6 strawberries: sliced or blended whatever your preference

• Optional salted rim and lime wedge

Mix or blend ingredients and serve on rocks or blended and sip away!

Every fall I look forward to the tomatillo harvest, not only for salsa verde, but especially for that once a year opportunity to make a Tomatillo Shrub to add to a Sauvie Shrubs version of a Margarita. This year it was Tomatillo, Pineapple & Turmeric and it did NOT disappoint. 

Tomatillo Shrub-Rita

• 1 oz Tomatillo, Pineapple, Turmeric Shrub

• 2 oz Tequila

• 2 oz fresh lime juice

• 2 oz Ginger Beer

• 2 oz Sparkling water

• Lime wedge and pineapple slice to garnish

Serve on the rocks. Omit the tequila and replace with more sparkling water for a refreshing non-alcoholic version.
