Quince shrub: sweet and sour vinegar syrup
Quince shrub is one of the most traditional and refined beverage vinegars. At the Adrian Manufactory, we produce it according to time-honored traditions: We combine our own organic apple cider vinegar with reduced quince juice – pure, natural, and unadulterated. The result is a shrub with a gentle acidity, delicate fruity sweetness, and the unmistakable aroma of the golden quince.
Unlike many modern shrub preparations, our product is not based on flavorings or added sugar, but on genuine fermentation and fruit infusion. This creates a drink that is invigorating – but not artificial. Aromatic – but never overpowering.
Herbaceous, fruity, finely balanced
The quince is a fruit with character – its aromas are reminiscent of apple, pear, blossom honey, and lemon zest. In the shrub, it unfolds in a particularly elegant way: the natural acidity of the apple cider vinegar brings freshness, while the concentrated quince juice contributes a mild sweetness and floral depth. This makes the Adrian Quince Shrub a flavorful yet pleasantly light and refreshing drink – both on its own with water and in creative recipes.
Versatile shrub for kitchen & glass
Adrian Quince Shrub truly shines as a refreshing drink: simply mix 1 part shrub with 5-7 parts sparkling water, add ice and fresh herbs like mint or lemon balm – and you have a non-alcoholic aperitif with character. It also creates an exciting flavor profile when mixed with tonic or kombucha.
In the kitchen, shrubs are excellent for dressings on bitter salads, in marinades for vegetables or meat, or as a fruity note in chutneys and sauces. Desserts especially benefit from its delicate freshness: whether as a topping over yogurt, baked pear, or in sorbets.
Adrian Manufaktur – Quality you can taste
For our quince shrub, we use only natural, organically grown ingredients. The quinces come from traditional orchards, the vinegar is homemade – we combine both in a product that makes time, care, and genuine craftsmanship tangible.
We do without concentrates, flavorings, and refined sugar. What remains is pure fruit, delicate acidity, and the authentic signature of our manufactory.
Please store in a cool, dark place and tightly sealed.
