TIPS AND ADVICE
Spice Up Your Syrup Game
"Take a little extra time to spice up your simple-syrup game at your bar. We all know that simple syrup is called that because it is simple to
make. It is also a major component in the balance of properly made cocktail with fresh ingredients. Measure equal parts of superfine sugar and warm water and either stir or shake until it is fully diluted. Now to spice it up a bit, let's make a flavored simple-syrup that you can use behind your bar and will open up other avenues of cocktail making.
For a healthy alternative, substitute the sugar with agave nectar or honey. Use the syrup for a creative twist to the Partida Blanco Margarita or even a Daquiri.
Use your imagination and have fun!"
Ginger Simple Syrup
2 palms of fresh peeled ginger
2 quarts of super fine sugar
2 quarts of water
3 fresh nutmeg berry crushed
Preparation: Bring water to a slight boil in a medium sauce pan and stir in the sugar until it is fully dissolved. Place in pre-peeled and chopped fresh ginger and crushed nutmeg and let it simmer for about a 30 minutes. Take off the heat and let cool. Once it is cool, throw it through a blender and finely strain the liquid through fine strainer. It is now ready for use.
For a healthy alternative, substitute the sugar with agave nectar or honey. Use the syrup for a creative twist to the Partida Blanco Margarita or
even a Daquiri. Use your imagination and have fun!
