SUGAR SYRUPS Simple Syrup (Version 1 – heavy) Simple Syrup (Version 2 – light) Simple syrups are the base of most of the flavored syrups. We have created two versions; this one is a true simple syrup, meaning that it is equal parts sugar to water, while the second is a bit less concentrated. They take little time to prepare, and are good to have on hand to sweeten cold beverages such as iced coffee and tea.
FLAVORED SYRUPS Lemongrass Syrup Lemon grass can be found in many larger supermarkets, or specialty stores. It is in the produce section and is a long, brittle stalk (look for green stalks, not ones that are brown and peeling at the ends, for that means that they are past their prime). If you cannot locate it in the produce section, try looking in the frozen food aisles (and if you are lucky, it’s already chopped!). Peel away the outer leaf and use the inner, fresher stalk.
Cucumber-Mint-Basil Syrup Honey-Lavender Syrup This syrup screams summer, not only because these fresh herbs are abundant then, but it is very refreshing when stirred into a glass of soda water. Herbal and sweet – this syrup does not use the standard simple syrup, rather the combination of honey and sugar tames the floral lavender.
COCKTAILS Lemon-Lime Syrup* Dark ’n Stormy® A favorite among many, this syrup has the perfect amount of bitter and sweet to it. Take the extra effort and have the best ingredients on hand to make this classic cocktail. We suggest sticking to the authentic Gosling’s rum.
MOCKTAILS Citrus Margarita Old-Fashioned New York–Style Egg Cream A delicious play on the classic Margarita – the mandarin syrup and orange juice add just the right amount of sweetness. Having the coldest milk and soda water possible is key to the makings of a classic egg cream.
