FAQ

Yes and no. Since all our products use natural preservatives (sugar and/or vinegar), they are relatively shelf-stable. Our syrups can be kept at room temperature for two weeks and our shrubs can be kept at room temperature for one month before the quality of the product begins to decline. For best results, all of our products should be kept in a dark, cool environment, such as your fridge.

Vinegar acts as a preservative. Shrubs were originally invented as a way to preserve the flavor and nutritional value of crops such as fruits and vegetables before refrigeration. We suggest you do keep your shrub in the fridge, however, to ensure longevity in flavor and color.

Again, yes and no. We sanitize all bottles and materials prior to use and boil all syrups to kill bacteria. This ensures no mold will grow inside your product. However, anything inserted into the bottle such as a spoon or straw will introduce bacteria, so it's best to pour from the bottle and keep it refrigerated to slow the growth of any bacteria introduced after purchase.
