Fig jam delivers a honeyed sweetness to this warming shrub-based mocktail — the ideal foil to the spicy, tart profile of your lemon-ginger shrub.
This seasonal mocktail features a lemon-ginger shrub (also known as a drinking vinegar) that adds a bright, tangy depth of flavor. The shrub requires a four-day fermentation period, so be sure to plan ahead.
- 6 oz. cold water
- 1 tsp. fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp. fig jam
- 2 oz. lemon-ginger shrub (prepared four days in advance )
- Rosemary sprig and lemon slice, for garnish
STEP 1
Make the lemon-ginger shrub at least four days in advance, as it requires time to ferment.
STEP 2
To prepare the mocktail: Bring the water to a boil. Place the rosemary in a glass measuring cup, pour in the hot water, and allow it to steep for about five minutes.
STEP 3
Place the jam in a mug. Add a splash of the rosemary tea and stir until the jam dissolves.
STEP 4
Stir in the remaining tea and the lemon-ginger shrub. Garnish with a rosemary sprig and slice of lemon.
STEP 5
Optional spirit: Mezcal
