Recipes From Tait Farms
Shrub Party Pitcher
A Shrub Party Pitcher offers the spirit of celebration for the entire family. Think of it as a modern-day punch bowl in a pitcher, served beautifully with ice, fruit, and the garnish of your choice.
INGREDIENTS:
-
Tait Farm Shrub (flavor of your choice)
- 1 liter of Sparkling Water ((33.8oz)
- Ginger ale or lemon-lime soda, if desired
- Ice & fresh fruit garnish
- For a spirited adult beverage, omit the ginger ale or soda, add a bottle prosecco or white wine instead (Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc recommended).
- Mix 6oz of Shrub with 1 liter bottle of chilled Sparkling Water into a pitcher. (that is a 1 oz. Shrub to 5-6 oz. sparkling water ratio)
- Add ice, as desired.
If you want a sweeter tasting pitcher, you may substitute a portion of the sparkling water with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda. Start with a small amount and add more as needed so it isn't too sweet.
