Simple Syrups

Simple syrups are a quick and easy way to add sweetness to cocktails. Regular, granulated sugar doesn’t dissolve well in cold liquid, and more often than not you’ll end up with a grainy drink. By creating a pre-dissolved sugar syrup you can add sugar to your cocktail without worry. 

The following are basic syrups that will appear in multiple of our recipes. They are easy to halve or double.

Keep these syrups in airtight containers and in the refrigerator. They will last at least a month.

You can see our current collection of syrups. From left to right: Ginger Mint, Honey, Demerara, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Simple, Raspberry.
