I've stopped buying monin syrups and started making my own.
After making my own demerara syrup, I'm convinced this is now the way.
Does anyone have any favourite syrup recipes, and what are they?
Oh and my syrup recipe super simple
500g demera syrup
250g water
50ml vodka
slowly heated together until all the sugar is absorbed and the syrup is syrupy. Bottle the syrup. then add 50ml of vodka, in my mind this will help preservation.

These are the entitled words of the white-boy patriarchy who believes women should be enslaved in the kitchen making syrups (and possibly sandwiches) for their testicularly-endowed masters.

Re: Cocktail syrups
Simple syrup flavored with lime juice to taste goes a long way in function and versatility. It’s also very easy to make and keeps refrigerated for a number of weeks. Gin’s best friend next to Churchill.

Re: Cocktail syrups
When you really start making cocktails, you need to become a syrup chef too. It costs around £8 for a syrup. When you think a packet of sugar £1.50 and water is free...

Re: Cocktail syrups
I like adding a stick or two of cinnamon to the pot as i'm melting down the sugar. Goes great in any number of tiki drinks.

Re: Cocktail syrups
If you want something truly freaky to go in your tiki (freaky good, that is) try enriching the simple syrup with a bit of almond extract and Jamaican allspice. There’s also room to play with things such as citron and grapefruit peel.
