Grape Shrub Mocktail

Make the Grape Shrub

1. Wash the grapes thoroughly and remove from stem.
2. Transfer the grapes into a 32 oz. mason jar. Alternately, this could be done in a bowl, and the grapes can be transferred to the mason jar after the next step.
3. Using a cocktail muddler or a potato masher, smash the grapes until all are crushed.
4. Measure in the 1 ¼ cups sugar, and stir until combined.
5. Cover the mason jar, and store at room temperature for 24-36 hours, shaking occasionally to mix the ingredients until the grapes are soupy and macerated.
6. Once macerated, strain the liquid from the grape seeds, skins and pulp. There should be 1 ½ cups of the grape syrup when strained.
7. Pour the cup of apple cider vinegar into the grape syrup, and stir until combined.
8. Transfer back to the mason jar or another airtight container, and transfer to the fridge to chill. You can also leave your shrub mixture at room temperature in a cool, dry place because the sugar and vinegar should preserve the fruit.
