Hi everyone.

Welcome to the Golden R.

Podcast.

I am Jen. G.R. Mom, joined as always by GR Dad.

Hi. And this week we're going to be talking about the science that the girls do and who

knows what else is going to work its way in here. First, cocktail of the week. This week we're

drinking shrubs, which are like old school things people use to make drinks. Hopper's also

licking a bowl in the background, so if you hear weird noises, that's what that is.

So a shrub is vinegar and sugar and usually fruit.

If you want to make one, you can take whatever kind of fruit you like, peaches work really well.

And you just do one part fruit, one part sugar, one part vinegar.

Don't use like white vinegar, like apple cider is good, but you can experiment with different kinds and you stick that in a pot and kind of simmer it until the sugar is dissolved and you've got a lot of good juices out of the fruit and then you it, so you just have the liquid left.

And that's the shrub, so it's very vinegary,

but also sweet.

And then you can use that to make drinks.

So I'm actually having non-alcoholic drink tonight just with

ginger shrub that I actually bought and seltzer water.

GR Dad is having a peach bourbon shrub cocktail and it's just one shot which is an ounce and a half of peach shrub and one shot of bourbon and you put it in a glass of ice and top it with club soda and it's fizzy and refreshing and delish.

It's very good.

Yep and you can just drink the shrub without alcohol just to be clear.
