Drink your veggies! We all know why carrots are good for us; it’s the beta-carotene and antioxidants and all that jazz, but ginger’s good for you too. You can use this carrot-ginger shrub in nonalcoholic drinks (just add seltzer) or boozy cocktails—it would work well with vodka’s neutral palate or the herbaceous qualities of gin. Another use for this shrub? Salad dressing! Just mix it with olive oil to your taste and add salt and pepper.
