What is a Shrub?

Hawaiian Vinegar Company Shrubs (also known as drinking vinegars) are a delicious and versatile syrup made with the freshest fruit, sugar, and vinegar, carefully crafted to deliver a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors. Through the process of macerating the fruit and sugar, the natural flavors infuse into the syrup, providing a delightful fruity sweetness. The addition of vinegar adds a pleasant acidic note, perfectly balancing the sweetness of the fruit.

Our shrubs are ideal for making creative cocktails, mocktails, sodas, and can even be used as a component of marinades and dressings. They are also great as a refreshing drink on their own. With origins dating back to the Roman and Babylonian times, shrubs have been used for their health benefits, such as preventing scurvy among sailors in the 16th-18th centuries.

At Hawaiian Vinegar Company, we infuse our vinegars with fruits and herbs, creating unique and healthy beverages that can be mixed with water, tea, club soda, or alcohol. Sip our shrubs straight, mix them with your favorite drink, or use them in marinades and dressings to elevate your culinary creations. Discover the perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and fruitiness in every sip of our vinegar-based shrubs.
