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
