Sugar! 🍯There is a plethora of thick, sweet, sticky sugar syrups out there, all with a different and unique flavours. From honey, to maple syrup to agave, each type will bring something different to your cocktail and will complement different spirits. 🥃
One thing we have found is that buying syrups from the supermarket can be expensive - especially if you make the number of cocktails we do. 🤷🏼♀️So here is a quick, easy method of making a relatively versatile syrup:
500g soft brown sugar
250ml of boiling hot water (straight for the kettle)
Simply pour the boiling water over the sugar and stir until dissolved, you must you soft brown sugar as it dissolves better. If you want to make more or less it is easy, just keep to the ratio of 2:1 sugar to water.
No pans, no thermometers ... just a simple, cost effective way of making syrup that can be used to make delicious cocktails! 🙌🏼
