  • 1 c apple cider
  • 1 c apple cider vinegar
  • 1 c granulated sugar
  • 2 large cinnamon sticks

KORU Cocktail

  • 1 ½ oz. Cognac
  • 1 oz. homemade Apple Shrub Syrup (you can purchase shrub syrups, although they’re hard to find at grocery stores; check your local farmers’ market!)
  • ½ oz. fresh lemon juice
  • 3 oz. soda water
  • optional (garnish): KORU slices and cinnamon stick

Directions

Apple Shrub Syrup

  2. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a glass container. If you prefer a more refined syrup, strain again through a coffee filter.
  3. Add 1 oz. of gin to fortify the syrup. Shake to incorporate.
  4. Store in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to 1 month.
