Bright, tangy, and just sweet enough, this pineapple shrub is a drinking vinegar concentrate that transforms a glass of sparkling water into something genuinely special. Fresh pineapple is cooked down with sugar until syrupy, then balanced with apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt for that signature sweet-tart depth that shrubs are known for. The whole thing is naturally free of any meat or animal proteins, so there's zero concern about hidden ingredients that could trigger a red meat sensitivity — just clean, fruit-forward flavor from start to finish. Letting it rest in the fridge for at least 24 hours is the real secret, as the flavors meld and mellow into something far more complex than the simple ingredient list suggests. A couple of tablespoons stirred into sparkling water over ice makes a refreshing mocktail that feels a little fancy without any effort. It also keeps for up to four weeks in the fridge, so you can batch it once and enjoy it all month long.

Combine the pineapple chunks and sugar in a medium saucepan. Stir to coat the fruit, then let the mixture sit at room temperature for 10 minutes until the sugar begins to dissolve and the pineapple releases some juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture just comes to a gentle simmer, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat immediately — do not boil vigorously.
