Cranberry Clementine

This was my first time trying a shrub and I picked the blueberry lemon flavor. I mixed it with 3 parts le croix seltzer water and 1 part shrub. I thought it was tasty with a little zip to it. Then I added a shot of rum and it was even better. Because I had read some reviews that said this shrub just tastes like ordinary apple cider vinegar, I made a second drink with 3 parts le croix and 1 part regular apple cider vinegar to compare with the shrub drink. Anyone who says the twisted shrub tastes like plain apple cider vinegar is wrong...the cider drink was gross, but the shrub drink was good!

I've tried it with just one cocktail. I'm going to experiment a little more with different ingredients and liquors. On first taste, the vinegar is strong and overpowers the pineapple and habranero that I was hoping to taste. It's not bad, but it also wasn't what I was expecting.

I tried making a drink with their suggested 1oz each shrub, tequila, soda. +cough!+ That will put some hair on your chest! Hahah. I did an extra oz of tequila, a little agave nectar, a little lime juice, and filled the rest of the glass with soda and it became delicious. I taste zero spice from the habanero which is disappointing. Also, don’t waste the nicer booze on this. As long as you aren’t using Jose Cuervo you won’t notice a difference. I used corralejo silver and couldn’t taste it at all. I don’t regret the purchase but I’ll be trying other brands for a more flavorful experience.

I personally love spicy tequila drinks so this was calling my name. To be honest I can’t tell the difference In flavor much between the peach and pineapple habenero flavors. I like them both a lot though. I don’t think that the bottle will make 8 drinks, probably closer to 5. I will be purchasing these again for sure! The vinegar taste isn’t too strong and it mixes well with tequilla. I used a spicy tequilla with this mix as well and it wasn’t too spicy.

I've enjoyed many shrubs-and I don't like sweet. But this product tastes no different than pure apple cider vinegar.

Blueberry and lemon flavors are very hard to distinguish, and if you dilute it any more than the instructions say, they vanish completely--when I tried it with gin, that also completely overpowered whatever fruit was there. I haven't yet found something that isn't just seltzer that results in a drink that I might maybe kind of (with the color as a hint) guess was blueberry without using more than 1oz in a drink, and at more than 1oz in a drink, the cost is kind of high. The kind of thing that makes me think "I should try making this" and not "I should order another bottle of this".

I mixed a bit of this with ginger ale and Hendricks and it made a tasty drink. It was good enough, that if I didn't limit myself to just one, I would have probably had several more.

I wasn't wowed by this product and for that reason I think it's too expensive. Not something I'd purchase again.
