Sugar syrup

The most common cocktail sweetener: equal parts sugar and water, heated until it dissolves.

Ingredients

• Sugar200 g
• Water200 ml

Method

1. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Stir occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves. It doesn't need to boil.
3. Take it off the heat and let it cool to room temperature before using it: warm syrup melts the ice and waters the drink down. Keep it in a tightly sealed bottle or jar.
