First stop with this limited edition shrub is the crazy beautiful color. Pause a second to take in the vibrant, saturated orange derived from the carrots. Second stop: the flavor. Carrots offer a gentle sweetness, ginger adds warmth with an edge, and then the spicy habanero hops aboard and it’s a party! Bright, vibrant, ready to burst–it is springtime in a bottle.

Urban Pharm Shrubs are versatile. Start by adding a shrub splash to sparkling or still water. Make your morning apple cider vinegar dose something to savor rather than throw back. Add a sprig of rosemary to add some texture. Don’t look now, but you may have a festive mocktail or cocktail on your hands. Shrub up your next marinade or dressing. Play around to your liking.

Each little bottle has about 7 servings and each big bottle has about 12 servings, depending on how vinegar-forward you want to be.

We have adorable gift boxes for each size. Note that boxes are sent unassembled (so not recommended if you're sending directly to a gift recipient). You can add to your order at check out!

What’s in there and why it is “good for you”

Raw apple cider vinegar: Apple cider vinegar is a tried & true health aid. Thanks to acetic acid and loads of friendly bacteria, apple cider vinegar supports digestion, lowers blood sugar, and improves insulin sensitivity.

Raw honey: Honey is sweet and delicious, as well as rich in antioxidants. Although the body processes honey as it does cane sugar (raising blood sugar levels), the composition of honey actually improves blood sugar regulation.

Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, a type of carotenoid that converts to vitamin A and plays a crucial role in healthy vision and immune function. It also gives carrots their beautiful yellow or orange color. Carrots are delicious AND nutritious.

Ginger contains several essential vitamins, notably vitamin C, vitamin B6, and vitamin E, all of which support immune health and cognitive function. Ginger has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and is well known for quelling nausea and gastric discomfort.

Habanero peppers are a rich source of capsaicin, a compound known for boosting metabolism and reducing appetite. These peppers are also packed with vitamins C and A and minerals like potassium, supporting immune function, promoting heart health, and contributing to overall well-being.

Recipes

Carrot Crush Tequila Cocktail
Ingredients:
2 ounces tequila
½ ounce carrot shrub
½ ounce fresh lime juice
Ice cubes
Sparkling water
Lime wedges and carrot curls for garnish

Instructions:
🥕 Combine tequila, carrot shrub, and fresh lime juice in a cocktail shaker.
🥕 Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the ingredients.
🥕 Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice cubes.
🥕 Top off the glass with sparkling water.
🥕 Garnish with lime wedges and carrot curls.

Carrot Ginger Soup
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, grated
4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
2 tablespoons Carrot, Ginger, & Habanero Shrub
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley and/or plain greek yogurt to top

Instructions:
🥕 Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
🥕 Add the chopped carrots to the pot and stir well to combine with the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
🥕 Pour in the broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. 🥕 Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for about 20 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
🥕 Using an immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a countertop blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a countertop blender, blend in batches and exercise caution when blending hot liquids.
🥕 Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the shrub. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as needed.
🥕 Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together. If the consistency is too thick, add more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
🥕 Serve the carrot ginger soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley. The shrub will add a tangy kick to complement the carrots' sweetness and the ginger's spiciness. For a complimenting cool, add a dollop of greek yogurt when serving.

Product FAQs

What is the shelf life?

The shelf life of Urban Pharm Shrub is 12 months, though in fact it is good for longer. After 12 months, the flavors might change and the colors will not be as vibrant.

How long will it last once open?

Urban Pharm shrubs are very stable thanks to that delicious apple cider vinegar. Before opening, they can live in your pantry for at least a year. We recommend refrigerating after opening and enjoying within a year for maximum flavor and color.

Does shrub need to be refrigerated?

Urban Pharm shrubs are shelf stable, which means they do not have to be refrigerated. We do recommend that they go in the fridge after opening to better preserve taste and color.

Does shrub contain alcohol?

No, Urban Pharm Shrub does not contain alcohol.

Does shrub contain sugar?

Yes, Urban Pharm Shrub does contain sugar in the form of raw organic honey. Honey is more nutritious and flavorful than cane sugar, as well as less processed. Our shrubs also contain fructose from the fruit.

Does shrub contain caffeine?

No, the ingredients in Urban Pharm shrubs are naturally caffeine-free.

What is the difference between shrub and kombucha?

Urban Pharm Shrub is a drinking vinegar. It is made by combining vinegar and honey with fruits and botanicals. The combination ferments for several days to a week. Shrubs are both tart and sweet. Kombucha is fermented tea. It is made by combining a black or green tea with cane sugar and a SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast). The combination ferments for seven to 10 days. Kombucha is a fizzy caffeinated (and slightly alcoholic) beverage that can be flavored fruits and herbs for flavor.

What are the health benefits of apple cider vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar is a tried-&-true health aid. For thousands of years, it has been used in both the kitchen and the medicine cabinet. Benefits include:

● Digestion improvement (the acidity of the vinegar restores stomach acidity and helps with enzyme release, both of which promote healthy digestion)
● Blood sugar balance and weight loss promotion (courtesy of the acetic acid, created by the fermented sugar in the apples)
● Energy booster (due to its amino acid, potassium, and enzyme content, it acts as a natural electrolyte solution and curbs the buildup of lactic acid)
● Clears congestion (the potassium and acetic acid can thin mucus to help clear your sinuses)
