This cranberry-apple shrub has much in common with the“drinking vinegars” once popular for their cooling effects in the days before ice was as common as...well, ice. Today, the sober-curious may enjoy shrubs served with soda water while the rest of us turbocharge with sparkling wine.This recipe first appeared in Season 1 of Good Eats: The Return.
