Middle Eastern and North African cooking relies on aromatic spices and herbs, including sumac, to build bold, fragrant flavors.
Traditionally, shrubs are made with vinegar, but for this one we use lemon juice to bring a bright sharpness to the base syrup, because it balances the earthy sweetness of the beetroot and sumac. A 0% gin brings some botanical notes to proceedings, but the syrup also works wonderfully just topped with soda water. You'll need to start the syrup a day ahead.
