Chill. Add berries and sugar and mix till everything is uniformly mixed in a mid-sized bowl. Cover bowl tightly with cling film and chill till juice exudes from fruits and starts to mix with sugar to form a syrup, around 24 hours. Strain fruit mixture through a fine sieve set over a mid-sized bowl, pressing gently on solids to express any leftover juice. Scrape any undissolved sugar in bowl with syrup. Beat in vinegar. Move syrup to a clean bottle. Close bottle, label using date, plus shake vigorously. Chill, shaking bottle periodically till sugar is completely dissolved, around 1 week. The shrub can be chilled for up to 1 year; the acid plus sugar preserves the syrup plus keeps it tasting bright plus fresh.
