Shrubs are one of the most versatile tools behind a great drink.

Equal parts practical and beautiful, they bring brightness, structure, and depth — whether you’re building a non-alcoholic cocktail, elevating sparkling water, or adding lift to a simple evening ritual.

Join Umbrella Dry Bar at Downtown Cary Park for a hands-on shrub-making workshop where you’ll create your own seasonal fruit-and-vinegar blend to take home. We’ll walk through the balance of fruit, sugar, and acid, how to adjust sweetness and intensity, and how to apply the technique across different flavor profiles.

After blending your shrub, you’ll enjoy a thoughtfully crafted non-alcoholic cocktail made with your creation.

You’ll leave with:

• A jar of your custom shrub

• A clear, repeatable method you can use again and again

• Ideas for incorporating shrubs into everyday drinks at home

This workshop is designed to feel approachable, creative, and grounded in real technique — no special equipment required.

Whether you’re new to shrubs or looking to refine your balance, this class will give you a practical framework you can return to season after season.
