Strawberry, Apricot & Vanilla Bean Shrub Syrup

• 250mL
• Flavour Profile: A delightful fusion of sweet strawberries, juicy apricots, and the warm, aromatic essence of vanilla beans.
• Characteristics: The combination of vibrant strawberry and apricot flavours is complemented by the subtle and comforting notes of vanilla bean, creating a well-balanced and indulgent taste.
• Making the Shrub: When we started our Budburst adventure our first two products, were the black plum infused vinegar and our golden apricot infused vinegar. Though we promoted the making of shrubs to customers, it was at Stanthorpe’s own Strawberry festival that we produced our first shrub. Strawberry and vanilla bean infused into apricot vinegar became our first ever shrub. The fresh local strawberries and fresh Vanilla beans make a great match, then add the apricot vinegar and you have a wow product.
• Suggested Uses:-
• Cocktails: Craft a Strawberry Apricot Vanilla Bean Daiquiri or a Vanilla Berry Fizz. Add to a sparkling wine.
• Mocktails: Create refreshing non-alcoholic beverages like a Strawberry Apricot Vanilla Sparkle. Add to lemonade or just soda.
• Culinary: Use as a dessert drizzle, mix into yogurt, or create a unique glaze for pastries. Use as a sweet dressing for salads
