Ginger lime shrub syrup drinking vinegar

Ginger lime shrub syrup drinking vinegar is a perfectly balanced sweet-sour syrup that is deliciously refreshing in cocktails such as my ginger lime shrub daiquiri with cinnamon myrtle and ginger crisps and with fizzy water or champagne. The syrup is made from the zest and juice of limes and from ginger juice cold pressed with coconut sugar and infused with cooled cinnamon myrtle tea. Cinnamon myrtle is an Australian indigenous ingredient that has a flavour that is like cinnamon. It is refreshing hot or cold with a little honey. The shrub syrup is made with coconut vinegar that has a sweet coconut flavour and a sour edge that works wonderfully with the cinnamon myrtle and the ginger and limes. Think refreshing and healthy ginger beer which you can add your own bubbles to.

This ginger lime shrub syrup features ingredients used for their medicinal properties including stomach settling ginger, vitamin C packed limes and the medicinal properties of cinnamon myrtle which has been used as a treatment for indigestion, heartburn and colic.

The ginger-lime shrub syrup drinking vinegar is pictured here with mineral water and ice, garnished with fresh lime wheels and homegrown lemon balm from my garden. To make the styling for these photographs more sustainable I used upcycled jam jar glasses and IS reusable metal drinking straws in rainbow. These drinks were gone in seconds after the shoot – it was an incredibly hot day and they were so refreshing. The remaining syrup was used to make pickle Daiquiri cocktails.
