The Bristol Syrup Co. consistently delivers products that understand the reality of a busy bar, and their No.16 Strawberry Shrub is no exception.

Charlotte Powell – Barista & Coffee Equipment Expert View Profile →
- Incredibly Versatile: Fantastic in cocktails, but also superb for crafting premium non-alcoholic sodas and iced teas.
- Distinctive Flavour: The vinegar tang, while brilliant, might require a brief explanation to some customers.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Alchemist's Garden, a popular cocktail lounge in the heart of Liverpool, was looking to refresh its spring menu with a unique, locally-sourced ingredient that could streamline service. They needed something versatile for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.
"We were tired of overly sweet fruit liqueurs. The Bristol Syrup Co. Strawberry Shrub gave us the perfect balance of sweet and sharp. Our 'Mersey Spritz' became an instant hit, and the consistency of the syrup meant every drink was perfect, even on a packed Saturday night."
Robert Davies – Bar Manager
The introduction of the new syrup led to their signature spritz accounting for 20% of all cocktail sales within the first month, dramatically improving their menu's appeal.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before the first use, give the bottle a good shake to ensure all the lovely ingredients are well mixed.
- For fast and accurate service, we recommend pairing this bottle with a compatible 10ml syrup pump.
- Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, both before and after opening.
Keeping It Going
- Always replace the cap tightly after use, or use a pump cap to keep the syrup fresh.
- Wipe the bottle's neck and pump nozzle regularly to prevent sticky build-up or crystallisation.
- Once opened, check the label for best-before-date guidance, but it's best used within a few weeks for optimal flavour.
- Rinse pumps thoroughly with warm water when swapping out an empty bottle for a new one.

Ever wondered what gives this syrup its unique, mouth-watering edge? It's the 'shrub'. This isn't a hedge in your garden, but a classic, vinegar-based syrup that's making a huge comeback in the drinks world. Bartenders love them because they add acidity and complexity, stopping a fruity drink from becoming one-dimensionally sweet. Think of it like a squeeze of lime in your taco – it doesn't make it taste of lime, it just makes everything else taste better. The vinegar in the shrub syrup brightens the strawberry flavour and provides a satisfying, grown-up finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. It’s the secret to creating truly balanced and memorable drinks.
