I like to make flavored syrups to go with cocktails.  You can make a lot of different cocktails with just one syrup.  My favorite is to add a few spoonful’s with champagne or prosecco.

I like to make a simple syrup really interesting.  I’ve mixed it up with pineapple juice and sage.  It’s a unique flavor that can be appreciated all year long.
