Dazzle Your Friends by Adding a Little Extra Flavour to the Simple Sugar Syrup
Additional Flavours and Colours for you Simple Syrup
For those wanting to upgrade that cocktail by introducing a touch of additional flavour, simple syrup is a good place to put those ideas to the test. Therefore, boozy alchemists can inject a spot of class to a Mojito by dropping in some lavender, cinnamon, vanilla, or numerous fruits into the mix. In fact, there are thousands of tantalizing infusions that will enhance a Simple Sugar Syrup, and all of them will taste infinitely better than the store bought crap, so go put that imagination to work!
Meanwhile, those looking to experiment with a little colour can consider adding butterfly pea flowers to their syrup for a striking blue. Or alternatively, throw in some strawberries in order to achieve a bright red hue. Basically, any any edible flower or fruit is ripe for experimenting with, so get in the kitchen and give it a whirl.
Alternative Sugars
In addition, cocktail makers can give different types of sugar a try. Want to come across as sophisticated, test your luck with some soft brown sugar. Or, on the other hand, if you like a little bite to your sweetness go for the darkest sugar you can find!
Put the Simple Sugar Syrup in a sealed container, and it will store happily in a fridge for up to a Month.
