: Dear Rich,
: Shrub is a colonial drink. It's usually made of rum, with fruit juice (whatever is handy) and sugar. Then you let it sit for a couple of months. The longer it sits, the better and smoother it gets. I tend to make mine from real lemons, but some day I'm going to venture into other fruits, as the colonial cookbooks offer recipes for them.
: Seamus prefers his shrub chilled, but I'm fine drinking it warm. Ping must be served chilled for it to be at it's best.
: I will be donating a couple of bottles of well-aged shrub for Ariel's Cabin, and Major Mike is donating a couple of bottles of Ping for the same. I hope whomever wins will share!!

Thanks for the explanation there, Private ... Seamus privately colored it a bit for me! :) Anyway, appreciated!
Even more thanks are due for your generous donations to the fund-raising for Ariel! As for the "share" part ... does a forceful handover count?????
