"We really like to use shrubs to preserve ingredients through the seasons. This one is made with strawberries, which are amazing in the spring but if you make enough shrub, you can make this cocktail year round. The name comes as a tribute to David Bowie and his passing. The cocktail is easy drinking, refreshing and spring in a cup. With all the fresh ingredients around the kitchen, this cocktail will pair beautifully with them all." – Jason James
