Notes

Simple Syrup is super easy to make. Since I like to make cocktails at home a lot I always keep a batch in the fridge. You make it by boiling 1 part sugar with 1 part water. As it is boiling, stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Then cool before using. I usually do at least 1/2 cup of sugar to 1/2 cup of water but you can do this in any increment you want.
