Making a shrub recipe is a creative way to use up extra fruit all the way through Labor Day. We were inspired by sampling the house-made shrubs at a restaurant in California. They are as colorful and refreshing as summer drinks should be. —Gina Nistico, Denver, Colorado

This shrub is a great way to use up fresh blackberries. It's also a very versatile drink. I've enjoyed it on its own, mixed with sparkling water, and even used it in cocktails.

I'm not a big fan of shrubs, but this one is really good. The blackberry flavor is very prominent and it's not too sweet.
