Before bottled colas and other sugary drinks became a ubiquitous part of our cultural landscape, people made vinegar-based fruit drinks commonly called “shrubs.” Mixed with carbonated water, Prosecco or even a Belgium Lambic beer results in a perfect warm weather cooler.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh, sweet strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, dark or white
- 2 cups white wine vinegar
- 2 cups red wine vinegar
Instructions
1. Mix fruit and sugar in a bowl. Crush berries with a potato masher or back of a wooden spoon. Cover for 1 hour or chilled overnight allowing fruit and sugar to meld and juices to be released from the fruit.
2. Strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth, pressing the fruit to get out all the flavorful juice.
