Shrub or Vinegar Water?

This is interesting information on shrub and vinegar water, which are period drinks.  The second link has many recipes.  Our family usually makes the raspberry vinegar from The Buckeye Cookbook.  We bottle it in this ( http://www.ikea.com/us/en/search/?query=+Bottle+with+stopper ).  The bale comes off the bottle easily and we replace it with a cork.
