Shrubs are the forerunners of the Bowls. The Shrub is the concen trated bowl and is so prepared, that no great degree of fermenta tion can take place, in order that, after the prescribed time, the combination can be filled in bottles and corked. The Shrub is served as a High Ball, or a Whisky, with Soda or Syphon and a lump of ice. Often it is served as a Pundi with Snow-Ice (cracked ice) in a large Punch Glass or also in a small Punch Glass, which has been dipped in ice and is served with a Straw. With ready-made (bottled) shrubs an expert can quickly prepare a first class Bowl and, with fresh fruits and champagne, any impromptu party can be immediately served. It will add to the reputation of the house to have the fresh bowls of the season always at hand, ready and prepared. L-es Shrubs sont les precurseurs des Bols. Le Shrub est le Bols con centre. On le fait macerer dans I'alcool de maniere a ce que la fer mentation ne soit pas trop forte et que le melange puisse etre mis en bouteille apres un temps prescrit, et ferme a bouchon. Le Shrub est servi comme High Ball, egal au Whisky, arrose avec du soda ou du siphon auquel on ajoute un petit morceau de glace. Souvent il est servi comme Punch soit dans le grand verre a Punch
