Whiskey Shrub Cocktail with Persimmon Vinegar

Persimmon Vinegar can even make a great addition to a cocktail. Our friends at Santa Barbara's The Good Lion created this whiskey sour recipe. It's delicious! 

Bonus! You can keep the shrub syrup to serve with sparking water later (or for the kids). 

Ingredients: 

Water
Sugar
Juice from Citrus
Persimmon Vinegar
Whiskey 
Lemon
Egg Whites 
Orange Wedge (garnish) 
Grated Nutmeg

Heat on the stove until the sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. 
Let the simple syrup cool and save some for the final cocktail.
