Currong Comestibles

Wholesale Indigenous Cordials

Currong Comestibles’ Shrub is a novel way to introduce your tastebuds to the intriguing flavours of Australian Indigenous ingredients. A vinegar-based cordial, a shrub or switchel is a refreshing, non-alcoholic drink. Currong’s Rainforest Lime and Riberry Shrubs are ideal for adding flavour to cocktails, mocktails and punches. They also work beautifully with savoury dishes. The flavour is sophisticated yet ‘approachable’. With their apple cider vinegar bases, each variant complements the native fruit’s natural flavour, providing a complexity that’s unique and familiar, and completely unexpected in a drink.

History

The word ‘shrub’ is derived from the Persian (sharāb, ‘wine’) and Arabic word sharāb meaning ‘to drink’. The same words also delivered the English words, syrup and sherbet.

Currong Comestibles’ Shrubs are multi-award winners for their innovation, flavour and quality. They combine an 18^th century American recipe with 20,000-year-old native Australian ingredients to create a spectacular 21^st century product.
