Watermelon Shrub Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups ripe watermelon, cubed (seedless preferred for smooth texture)
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar (for bright acidity and preservation)
• 1 cup granulated sugar (to balance the tartness)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (adds extra zing and freshness)
• Club soda or sparkling water (to dilute the shrub for a fizzy refreshment)
• Ice cubes (to chill and enhance the experience)
• Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish and aroma)
• Lime wedges (optional, to add a citrus twist)
