Oops, I drank a shrub (and it was good). Then I put vodka in it (and it was better).
In drink terms, a shrub is a concentrated syrup that combines fruit, spices, sugar and vinegar for interesting flavor combinations. The result is a sweet, acidic mixer that can be used in a variety of mixed drinks (or on its own!).

Celebrating National Diabetes Awareness Month (NDAM) with some blue beverages
I went to town on the blue beverages this month. NDAM is an important month for us diabetics; it's an opportunity to raise awareness about the disease, engage folks in taking action in one way or another, and celebrating our successes, however small.
The Ghosty Goblet
I often get distracted by shiny things, and this drink was no exception. Any, ANY reason to use a glow stick and I'm in.
