• ½ oz. Wine Forest Huckleberry Shrub
• ½ oz. Lemon Verbena Infused Simple Syrup
• 5 oz. Sparkling Water

1. Combine the lemon juice, huckleberry shrub and simple syrup in a glass with ice. Stir well.
2. Top with sparkling water and gently stir.
3. Adjust sweetness to your taste.

For the Lemon Verbena Simple Syrup
