Pomegranate Shrub: refreshing vinegar syrup
Our pomegranate shrub is more than just a vinegar drink – it's a vibrant homage to the age-old tradition of drinking vinegars. At the Adrian Manufaktur, we combine high-quality apple cider vinegar with reduced pomegranate juice to create a balanced shrub that impresses with its fruity depth, pleasant sweetness, and invigorating acidity.
The base is our naturally cloudy organic apple cider vinegar, refined with gently concentrated pomegranate juice. The result: an intensely ruby-red shrub bursting with flavor, real fruit, and a delicate, harmoniously integrated acidity – completely free of artificial flavors, concentrates, or additives.
Sour and sweet with an oriental touch
Pomegranate is known for its subtly tart aroma and balanced combination of sweetness and acidity. This profile is particularly evident in Adrian Shrub: it smells of ripe seeds, red berries, and a hint of wildflowers. On the palate, it is lively, crisp, yet smooth – ideal for those seeking natural refreshment with character.
Thanks to its natural fruit sugar and mild vinegar base, it never tastes too harsh or overpowering, but remains elegant and pleasantly drinkable.
Versatile enjoyment – not just in a glass
Traditionally, shrub was drunk diluted with water – and that's precisely what makes it so appealing even today. A splash of Adrian pomegranate shrub in ice-cold mineral water creates a non-alcoholic, natural refreshment that puts any lemonade to shame. It's also a real insider tip with tonic, ginger ale, or as a base for cocktails.
Furthermore, shrub is excellent for refining dressings, marinades, or desserts – for example, over berries, vanilla pudding, or stirred into yogurt. Those who are creative will quickly come to appreciate shrub as a staple in their kitchen.
Honest. Natural. Adrian.
For our pomegranate shrub, we use only natural, organic ingredients – most notably our apple cider vinegar from organically grown orchard fruit and real pomegranate juice. We completely avoid refined sugar, concentrates, or flavorings. Every drop is crafted with great care, in small batches, and according to a time-honored artisanal process.
Please store in a cool, dark place – and preferably in a highly visible location, as this shrub will quickly become a favorite drink.
