A Good Food Awards Finalist

Sweet, spicy and sour — you'll be surprised by this well-rounded shrub. Based on a colonial recipe to preserve fruit juice, we've added our modern touch and concocted this gorgeous syrup to accent your next Bloody Mary — or even better, a uniquely satisfying Chile Lime Margarita (with a chile lime rim and mezcal!). We also love it with seltzer for a refreshing tonic, or grillside alongside something smoky off the coals. It's fantastic used as a glaze or marinade for chicken, fish, noodles and steak, and makes a perfect addition to a winter vinaigrette longing for a taste of summer's perfect tomatoes and peppers.

We recommend ½–1oz shrub to 8oz sparkling water for a refreshing fruit tonic, or spice it up with a splash of liquor using our shrub cocktail formula below.

• ½–1oz shrub
• 1–1½oz spirit
• shake with ice
• top with sparkling water
• squeeze of citrus
• dash of GMD tree bitters
