Desert Shrubs

When you hear “shrub,” you might think of hardy desert plants - and that’s fair. Shrubs are resilient, sun-loving plants built to thrive in dry climates like ours. But the shrub we’re excited about isn’t something you plant, it’s something you sip.

In the beverage world, a shrub is a fruit-forward, vinegar-based drink that’s been around for centuries. Tangy, slightly sweet, and wildly refreshing.

Made from real fruit and spices, these handcrafted shrubs are mixed with sparkling water, cocktails, or poured over ice for a uniquely flavorful experience.

Desert Shrubs is more than just a drink - it’s a local story bottled up. Born and crafted right here in Yucca Valley by Luke and Elle Kemp, this brand was inspired by love for homemade goodness, and a passion for bringing people together through food and flavor.

From years of sharing homemade vinegars, pickles, and shrubs with friends and family, the Kemps fine-tuned their recipes into the lineup you can now find in our stores.

These handcrafted shrub syrups are incredibly versatile. Here’s how you can enjoy them:

• Classic + Refreshing

  Pour over ice with sparkling water for a thirst-quenching sparkling drink.

• Cocktails

  Mix into margaritas, mojitos, or craft cocktails for a tangy twist.

• Mocktails

  Combine with fresh juices and herbs for elevated non-alcoholic beverages.

We’re thrilled to now carry Desert Shrubs in both our Twentynine Palms + Joshua Tree locations.

Cheers - and drink your vinegar!
