2. Raspberry Soda
The recipe for shrubs—mixtures of fruit, sugar and vinegar—dates back to colonial times. Recently, chefs and bartenders have rediscovered these sweet-sour mixtures and are using them as a base for inventive drinks. Since shrubs are meant to be made ahead, they can be batched and refrigerated for two weeks, a move that eases the preparation of this tart and fruity soda at The Country Cat in Portland, Ore.
