Zirconia

Designed to be non-alcoholic, the Zirconia can also be ordered with alcohol. The base of the drink is a house-made seasonal shrub made with fruits and vegetables like cucumbers and persimmon, fresh citrus and a dash of water-soluble CBD, all topped with tonic or soda water.

Editor's Note

To emulate Georgia James's homemade shrub, use a 2:1 ratio of your favorite fruit or vegetable-based vinegar (such as Acid League Strawberry Rose Vinegar) to simple syrup. Store bought shrub, such as Shrub & Co, will work as a substitute.
