Better Mixed Drinks with Simple Syrup

Ever tried to make a Mojito? How about a Gimlet with fresh lime juice? Maybe a Kamikaze?

If you are like me, you have made one terrible Mojito, given up, and then decided to leave it to the professionals. However, there is a better way.

Pouring a Gimlet made with Simple Syrup.

Simple Syrup is easy to make, easy to store, and absolutely critical in the making of many cocktails.

Sure there are some shortcuts that can be taken, but if you have ever had a Mojito that that was made without simple syrup then you know how much of a difference it makes.

Simple syrup adds sweetness and body to cocktails.

Boil one part water

Stir until completely dissolved

Simple Syrup can be stored in a jar or bottle. If refrigerated and sealed it will keep nearly indefinitely.
