So 2 tips while making it:
1) do not hang over the pan during the simmering phase unless you want to clear your sinusses in the fastest way possible
2) If you add sugar to the leftover raspberry remains after the sieving you can make a nice pairing for some vanilla ice cream - kinda like a tart raspberry jam.

It's a shame Max, that you never got to eat at The City Tavern in Philadelphia before they closed because of Covid. It was, and still retains the record as the longest open eatery in the colonies, and you could get shrub as a drink (nonalcoholic.) The owner was a devoted food historian of the era: they brewed their own beer and cider. I hope now that things open up again, people come along and re-open it again as it was.

OKAY, WHOA, HOLD UP! I just made a connection!
So, one of my favorite secret ingredients to add to things is pomegranate molasses (try it on roasted brussels sprouts in place of balsamic/glaze; the added tartness and viscosity really works well with the sprouts). For anyone not familiar, it's a syrup made from pomegranate juice and sugar. I have a bottle I got from an Eastern European grocery a while back that's made by some Russian brand, and the label is mostly written in Cyrillic. The stick-on label they added that translates it into the Latin alphabet (though not into English; not 100% sure what language it's in, to be honest) lists the item name as "Naršarab." I always saw "arab" and assumed that word meant something like "Arabic sauce" or something to that effect, but hearing about how shrub was invented in Persia made me realize something: the letter "š" makes a "sh" sound, so that word is pronounced like "gnar-shrub"! It's a shrub!!! Pomegranate molasses is a shrub, and the Russian name for it acknowledges that!

A "ginger water" was my family's go-to drink during haying under the summer sun. Very refreshing and definitely a (non-alcoholic for us) shrub variant that restored better than sports drinks do today. Though we didn't have the benefit of fresh ginger, so it was always a bit gritty from the powdered ginger. Glad it's making a resurgence so I can get it again.

Reminds me of Korean drinking vinegar. Like the shrub, it's used as a mixer rather than a drink in and of itself; I'm a big fan of just the pomegranate vinegar and some water, myself. I can't remember what it's called in Korean, but I remember Hong Cho (홍초) was one of the more popular brands. They're touted as health drinks, but of course they're actually just fruit juice with a bunch of added sugar and some acetic acid, so really they're just soft drinks with a flavor we're not used to drinking anymore.

Vinegar is indeed extreemly effective in quenching thirst, especially when one feels incredibly thirsty and is chugging water without pause (although one should drink plentifully during the day, it isn't healthy to imbibe large quantities of water all at once).
A spoonful of vinegar (apple vinegar works too) in a glass of water should appease the sense of thirst and allow more spacing between glasses.
