Berry Peach Shrub Mocktail

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
• 1/2 cup chopped ripe peach
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• Ice
• 3 cups chilled sparkling water
• Fresh mint or basil, for garnish

Directions

1. Combine the strawberries, peach, sugar, and salt in a bowl or jar. Mash gently with a fork until the fruit releases plenty of juice, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice until the sugar dissolves. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing lightly on the fruit, and chill the shrub syrup until cold.
3. For each drink, fill a glass with ice and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the shrub syrup. Top with chilled sparkling water, stir gently, and garnish with mint or basil. Store any extra syrup covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
