Ingredients:
Cranberry Shrub:
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 pods cardamom, crushed
4 whole allspice berries, cracked
¼ (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick
ice cubes
8 fluid ounces ginger beer
2 fluid ounces lemon concentrate
Directions:
Step 1 Combine vinegar, and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cranberries, cardamom pods, allspice berries, and cinnamon stick; bring to a boil. Stir and cover until cranberries begin to pop, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir again, being careful that cranberries do not burn you as they pop. Reduce heat and simmer until dissolved and cranberries have released their juice, about 10 minutes.
Step 2 Remove from heat and allow to steep for 15 minutes. Strain into a container, seal and refrigerate. Discard pulp.
Step 3 Fill 2 highball glasses halfway with ice. Add 1 fluid ounce cranberry shrub, 4 fluid ounces ginger beer, and 1 fluid ounce club soda to each glass. Stir well.
