Artisanal Beverage Mixers + Shrubs

The perfect touch for bold, balanced cocktails and mocktails

A shrub is a tangy, flavorful mixer made from fruit, vinegar, and sugar that is a timeless preservation method with roots that go back centuries. Once used to capture the essence of seasonal harvests, shrubs have reemerged as a dynamic ingredient for cocktails, mocktails, and sparkling refreshers.

Think of it as a flavor concentrate with a twist, where the zing of vinegar meets the sweetness of fruit and spice to create something surprisingly versatile and deeply satisfying.

Add a splash to spirits for a unique, elevated cocktail. Mix with sparkling water for a refreshing, zero-proof drink. Pair with food, dressings, or marinades for extra complexity.

The Ginger Root
A twist on our standard Old Fashioned Mix. We take our standard mix and add a crisp amount of fresh pressed ginger. The Ginger Root produces a unique whiskey or tequila old fashioned, pairs well with mezcal, and makes a clean bourbon and ginger soda. 8 oz.

The Burning Root
Flagship mix of mango, habanero, and lime. The Burning Root is our crowd favorite shrub that combines all essential flavor profiles - sweet, tangy, and spicy - for a one-of-a-kind mocktail or cocktail. This mix has the versatility to produce an amazing twist on a spicy margarita or a beautiful clear distillate-based soda refresher. 8 oz.

The Grounded One
Simply put, this is a beautiful mixer containing a combination of strawberry, cucumber, and basil. For both non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, The Grounded One will provide a balance of herbal aromatics and fruity sweetness qualities. In the summer months, don’t hesitate to use this shrub to elevate your traditional G&T-esque drink as you relax on the porch. 8 oz.

The Rooted Old Fashioned
Carefully crafted syrup for any Old Fashioned enthusiast. Our Old Fashioned mix is blend of dark brown sugar, vanilla beans, cinnamon stick, orange peel, citrus, and bitters. Sometimes it is hard to beat a traditional cocktail that is uniquely enjoyable. The Rooted Old Fashioned is rich and concentrated with all of the flavors that harmoniously integrate with all types of whiskey. Not overpowering, but just enough boldness to jump on the palate. 8 oz.
