How to make Simple Syrup for Gin Cocktails
I love making cocktails at home, but when I first started many ingredients seemed complicated. I have spoken to people who buy simple syrup, but it is SO easy to make! Just watch my video below..
Simple Syrup Recipe
Ingredients
Makes 1 1/2 cups
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Method
- Heat the water in a saucepan over medium-low heat until hot (do not bring to a boil).
- Stir in the sugar until fully dissolved.
- Let the syrup cool and transfer to a jar/bottle/or jug perhaps if using straight away! If in a sealed bottle, you can store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
If you want to make a rich, thicker syrup you can add more sugar. Some bartenders prefer a 2:1 ratio!
You can also experiment with different sugars and flavours. For some more recipes check out this Taste Cocktails page.
