BLACKBERRY-GINGER SHRUB OLD FASHIONED image

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 oz bourbon whiskey
3 dashes Angostura bitters
1/2 oz blackberry ginger shrub
Blackberry for garnish
For the blackberry-ginger shrub:
4 cups fresh blackberries
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 cup cider vinegar
2 cups sugar

Steps:

To make the blackberry-ginger shrub, mix the fresh blackberries, ginger, and sugar in a large bowl. Mash with a spoon to release the juice. Let sit for a day in the refrigerator. Strain the solids and press lightly on the fruits to expel any remaining juice. Mix the juice with the vinegar and whisk to combine. Place the mixture in a mason jar to store. If sugar and vinegar separate, shake well to combine. For the Old Fashioned, add the bitters and shrub to the bottom of an Old Fashioned glass and stir with a bar spoon. Add ice to the glass. Top with bourbon and a dash of club soda. Garnish with a blackberry.
