Questions about Shrub Himbeere Sirup?
We are happy to help you with Schusters Shrub.
Shrub Himbeere. Die Sorte, mit der die Geschichte des Shrubs begann.
Shrub Himbeere ist ein Fruchtsirup aus Himbeeren, naturtrübem Bio-Apfelessig und Zucker — die Referenzsorte der Manufaktur. Kein aromatisierter Himbeersirup, kein Fruchtessig für den Salatteller, kein Getränk zum puren Trinken.
Shrub Himbeere ist ein Fruchtsirup auf Essigbasis von Schusters Shrub, bei dem ganze Himbeeren wochenlang in Apfelessig ausziehen. Gießen Sie zwei Zentiliter auf kaltes Sprudelwasser, und der Sirup sinkt als dunkelrote Schliere nach unten, bevor er sich löst. Was danach im Glas steht, schmeckt nicht nach der Himbeerlimonade aus der Erinnerung. Es schmeckt nach Himbeere, schärfer konturiert, als reine Süße es je zulassen würde.
Warum die Säure die Frucht lauter macht
Die Himbeere zeigt hier eine Kante, die aus Konfitüre oder Sirup nicht vertraut ist. Im Duft steht reife Beere, dahinter ein heller, essigscharfer Zug, der die Nase weckt.
Am Gaumen kommt die Frucht zuerst, dicht und dunkel. Dann setzt die Säure ein und schneidet die Süße auf, statt sie zu tragen. Das ist der eigentliche Punkt: Säure ist ein Aromaträger. Sie hebt die flüchtigen Ester der Himbeere hervor — jene Verbindungen, die den typischen Beerenduft ausmachen. Zucker allein kann das nicht leisten, er legt sich darüber.
Im Abgang bleibt eine beerige Herbe, die den Mund trocken zurücklässt. Genau die macht, dass ein Glas selten reicht. Wer eine milde, runde Himbeernote sucht, wird den Shrub als zu herb empfinden. Der Apfelessig ist im Antrunk klar zu schmecken und bleibt es auch stark verdünnt. Für Menschen, die Fruchtsäure grundsätzlich meiden, ist er nicht geeignet.
Zwei Zentiliter, drei Anwendungen
Ein Shrub wird immer verdünnt. Für ein 0,2-Liter-Glas Limonade rechnen Sie 1,5 bis 2 cl auf eiskaltes Sprudelwasser, das Verhältnis liegt zwischen 1:10 und 1:15.
Für einen Aperitif ersetzen Sie das Wasser durch Sekt: ein Teil Shrub auf zehn Teile Prosecco, dazu ein Eiswürfel. Im Dressing arbeiten Sie mit der Formel der Manufaktur. Erst der Shrub, dann ein Spritzer Zitronensaft, zuletzt das Öl langsam eingeschlagen. Zu Feldsalat mit gerösteten Walnüssen und dünnen Apfelspalten braucht es nichts weiter.
Im Dessert setzen Sie den Sirup als Spiegel unter die Panna Cotta. Auch in einen Tortenguss gerührt funktioniert er, weil die Säure gegen die Sahne arbeitet und die Süße bricht. Ein Teelöffel genügt für eine ganze Form.
Gut zu wissen: Stellen Sie die Flasche dunkel. Die Manufaktur setzt keine Farbstoffe ein, deshalb kippt das Rot mit der Zeit ins Bräunliche — geschmacklich folgenlos, optisch schade. Gekühlt werden muss der Shrub auch nach dem Öffnen nicht, das erledigt der Essiganteil. Mit rund 61 g Zucker je 100 ml ist er allerdings kein zuckerreduziertes Produkt. Bei einer Verdünnung von 1:15 relativiert sich das im Glas deutlich, für den Sirup selbst bleibt es bedenkenswert.
Sechs Wochen im Fass, dann unter die Presse
Himbeeren kommen als ganze Frucht in den Apfelessig. Quitten werden gehäckselt, Zitrusfrüchte in Scheiben geschnitten — die Beere bleibt, wie sie ist. Der Grund liegt in ihrer Struktur: Weiches Fruchtfleisch braucht keinen mechanischen Aufschluss, der Essig dringt von selbst ein.
Dann passiert vier bis sechs Wochen lang scheinbar nichts. Fachlich heißt der Vorgang Mazeration: Eine Flüssigkeit löst über Zeit die Aromastoffe aus festem Material. Zu kurz gelagert bleibt der Essig dünn, zu lang wird er strohig. Die Spanne ist keine Bequemlichkeit, sondern das Fenster, in dem die Beere alles abgibt und noch nichts verliert.
Danach werden die ausgelaugten Beeren gepresst, um den letzten Aromarest zu gewinnen. Das Fruchtfleisch wandert auf den Kompost, übrig bleibt der Fruchtessig. Er wird mit Zucker auf das richtige Verhältnis von Süße und Säure abgeschmeckt und heiß abgefüllt. Das macht die Flasche rund drei Jahre haltbar, ohne einen einzigen Konservierungsstoff. Das Genussmagazin Selection hat den Himbeer-Shrub mit Gold prämiert.
Der Ur-Shrub, seit 1832 belegt
Ausgerechnet die Himbeere steht am Anfang der ganzen Gattung. Als Eliza Maria Child 1832 in ihrem Kochbuch The American Frugal Housewife den Begriff Shrub für ein alkoholfreies Getränk verwendete, meinte sie ein Himbeeressiggetränk. Die amerikanische Abstinenzbewegung machte daraus im 19. Jahrhundert ein Alltagsgetränk.
Wenn Sie Shrub noch nicht kennen, ist diese Sorte der richtige Einstieg. Sie zeigt das Prinzip ohne Umweg. Die beerige Variante mit Heidelbeere ist danach der rundere Schritt, die kräutrige Sorte mit Rosmarin und Zitrone der Sprung in die Küche. Als Mitbringsel funktioniert die Himbeere aus demselben Grund: Sie erklärt sich beim ersten Schluck von selbst, ohne Beipackzettel.
Ein Sirup, der eine 190 Jahre alte Idee zurück ins Glas holt — und dabei nach mehr Himbeere schmeckt als jede Himbeerlimonade.

How it all began
Does this sound familiar? You return from vacation with a bottle of olive oil from Portugal in your suitcase, a jar of fruit spread from South Tyrol, perhaps a bar of chocolate from a small factory in France — and you ask yourself: Why can't I find something like this easily at home? We kept asking ourselves this question.
We are Kerstin and Stephan Uhlenbusch from Nordhorn, a city on the German-Dutch border. On our travels through Europe, we made the most wonderful culinary discoveries: mountain apple juices from the high altitudes of South Tyrol, Breton barrel butter, handmade pasta from Italy, French sea salt. It wasn't the big luxury products that fascinated us, but rather the honest, artisan-made foods from people who put their heart and soul into their products.
In 2002, we decided to turn this passion into our profession: to make good food accessible to everyone who cannot travel to the producers themselves. This is how our gourmet shipping business came into being — initially as a store in Nordhorn, soon after as one of the first gourmet online shops in Germany. Back then under the name nur Gutes (only good things) — today we continue it as genussland.de. The ambition has remained the same: this is where good taste resides.
Who we are
What drives us is the same curiosity with which we started in 2002: finding out who truly makes good food. Over more than two decades, we have built a network — with producers, traders, restaurateurs, and culinary artisans from all over Europe.
Kerstin was the managing director of the association of leading delicatessen merchants in Germany — the industry association of the country's best owner-managed delicatessen stores. In this role, she not only accompanied but actively shaped the German delicatessen industry. With the deli Festival, we also launched our own B2B trade fair for delicacies, which brought together producers, traders, and restaurateurs from all over Europe. The festival no longer exists today — but the relationships that arose from it still accompany us.
What does this mean for you? We know our industry like almost no one else. Chambers of commerce and economic development agencies from all over Europe repeatedly introduce us to exciting producers who want to offer their products on the German market. This way, genussland always offers something you won't find in any supermarket and hardly in any other shop.
What you'll find here
Our assortment includes fine foods, delicacies, wines, non-alcoholic beverages, and selected kitchen and home accessories — from manufacturers in Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Portugal, Spain, England, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Greece, and the USA.
An extra virgin olive oil from Portugal, a genuine Aceto Balsamico from Modena, Fleur de Sel from the Breton coast, hand-mixed spice blends. Fruit spreads, aromatic honey, truffle delicacies, chutneys, and mustard sauces. Vintage sardines and fine canned fish, risotto rice, and handmade pasta — basic ingredients for honest cooking and specialties for special moments.
Our fresh delivery service brings the legendary Beurre Bordier from Brittany, Italian Burrata, and fine salami to your home — securely packaged and continuously chilled.
Wine is particularly close to our hearts: white wine from Rheinhessen and the Pfalz, red wine from Austria and Burgenland, rosé for barbecue season, natural wine for the adventurous, sparkling wine and champagne for special moments. Not from all over the world — but from winemakers we have personally visited and whose work we appreciate. Many of them work organically or biodynamically.
Our Philosophy
What makes a product a genussland product? We ask ourselves this question for every single item we add to our range. The answer is never one-dimensional – it's the combination of craftsmanship, origin, ingredients, and the people behind them.
We ask many questions before a product finds its way into our shop. How is it made? Where do the raw materials come from? What philosophy does the manufacturer pursue? We quickly notice whether we are hearing marketing clichés or if a producer is happy to explain their journey. It is precisely this enthusiasm that we seek – and repeatedly find.
Craftsmanship. We prefer products from small manufactories and family businesses that often produce their culinary treasures by hand for generations. The careful processing and artisanal skill can be tasted in every bite.
Best Ingredients. For us, good quality begins with the raw materials. Whether it's fruit, vegetables, milk, meat, or grain – we ensure that our manufacturers rely on first-class, as natural as possible, ingredients. Many of our producers are organically certified; our shop itself is organically controlled under the number DE-ÖKO-037.
Origin and Regionality. We appreciate products with a clear regional identity. A South Tyrolean mountain apple juice made from slowly ripened, old apple varieties. A Portuguese olive oil from trees that have shaped the landscape for centuries. These stories of origin make delicacies what they are.
Personal relationship with the manufacturer. We have known many of our suppliers personally for years, some for over two decades. We visit them, taste together, and exchange ideas. This proximity guarantees transparency and trust.
At the end of the day, it has to taste good. We try all products ourselves – not just once, but again and again while cooking, at the table, on the plate. Only what convinces us personally finds its way into the shop.
The people behind the products
What brings us the most joy: We get to accompany passionate individuals on their journey. People whose drive it is to make a good product even better. Some have been with us since our founding - for over twenty years.
There's the South Tyrolean fruit farmer who presses mountain apple juice from old, slowly ripened apple varieties, unlike anything else. The Italian balsamic family who ages their vinegar in Modena for decades. The Breton butter manufactory whose hand-churned butter is on the menu of the best restaurants in Europe. The Danish licorice pioneer who reinvented a centuries-old specialty.
Behind every product in our shop stands a person, a family, a story. And it is precisely these stories that make the difference between an interchangeable food item and a true delicacy.
This is where good taste resides
Whether you want to order fine foods online, are looking for a special wine, want to put together a gift for a loved one, or simply want to enrich your kitchen with high-quality ingredients — genussland is the right place for you.
