How Do You Make Simple Syrup For Cocktails?
Simple syrup is a very common ingredient in many cocktails. It is a great way to increase the sweetness without having all of the mixability issues. Using this syrup allows your drink to have a great end result without the grainy texture of just adding the sugar directly to the drink itself. There are many options available at your local retailer. But why spend the money when it is simple to make at home with just a few ingredients. Separate equal parts of sugar and water and set aside. Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the sugar to the saucepan after a good boil is going. Be sure to stir thoroughly allowing the sugar to dissolve completely. There is nothing worse than a grainy simple syrup. Allow to cool and place into an airtight container.
