Passionfruit brings a tropical, floral intensity that few fruits can match — and makrut lime adds a herbal, aromatic edge that's entirely its own. Fermented together into a naturally tart, concentrated shrub mixer. Mix with sparkling water for a vivid non-alcoholic drink, or use it as the base of a cocktail that doesn't need much else.

Balo is the work of chef and fermenter Balo Orozco, who built a devoted following at farmers markets and LA restaurants before rebranding under his own name. Every ingredient is processed fresh — no bought-out juices, no artificial flavors, no fake sweeteners. Just naturally fermented produce, small batch, adaptogenic and prebiotic. Each 18.3oz bottle makes 16–18 drinks.

Mix one part shrub with five parts sparkling water. Use as a cocktail mixer with rum, gin, or vodka. Excellent over ice with a squeeze of fresh lime.
