Orange Marigold Shrub

When you hear the word “shrub,” you might picture a scruffy plant—but shrubs are also vibrant, tangy drinking vinegars with a rich history that spans ancient civilizations. Borrowed from the Arabic word sharāb, meaning “to drink,” shrubs have long been cherished as health tonics, cocktail mixers, and fruit preservers. Today, they’re enjoying a fresh revival as flavorful syrups made from fruit, vinegar, and natural sweeteners—perfect for sprucing up sparkling water, cocktails, and even your favorite dishes.

At Red Root & Co, our shrubs are crafted with whole botanicals, raw organic apple cider vinegar, and raw honey to bring you that perfect balance of bright, tart, and sweet—with a boost of plant-powered goodness. Whether you’re shaking up a craft cocktail, mixing a refreshing mocktail, or drizzling them over roasted veggies and desserts, our shrubs add vibrant flavor and nourishing qualities to every sip and bite. Rooted in tradition but made for modern palates, shrubs are the delicious way to enjoy the tangy, healthful magic of vinegar—reimagined for your kitchen and bar.
