ЯØ81ИLittle tip for anyone that makes simple syrup, or is going to make it...
Always boil the water, before adding the sugar as it takes longer to boil the water and sugar mix from cold.
Every home cook should know how to make simple syrup at home. With only two ingredients, the process is "simple" and the uses are endless.

Chris RuppelLAGOON WATER
½ oz lime cordial 🍋🟩
¼ oz blue simple syrup 🔵
1½ oz gin
1 dash umami bitters
4 drops saline
top with seltzer
Garnish: orchid
Method: Set soda aside and build drink in glass in the order listed. Add a large rock of ice, add soda, and stir until color is even.
I found this one on the cheerstohappyhour IG channel and had to work my butt off to make it happen ;) The build is quite involved as listed, making blue simple syrup and I also had to make the lime cordial (I'd wanted to for a while anyway). The umami bitters are also very niche, but luckily I'd already gotten them for another cocktail some months back. And finally, the clear ice and maintaining orchids at home are both their own projects spanning days/months :D If you can manage to make it, it's got a five-star look and tastes great on a sunny afternoon!
🔵 Blue simple syrup: combine 1 cup sugar and ¾ teaspoon blue spirulina powder (or food coloring), and stir to incorporate dry ingredients. Once mixed, add one cup water then stir until everything is dissolved.
🍋🟩 I used Jeffrey Morgenthaler's lime cordial recipe: https://jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/

How to Make Your Own Lime Cordial (Rose's Lime Juice) - Jeffrey Morgenthaler
I’ve always had a pretty serious dilemma with the Gimlet. On one hand, I’ve never really been in love with fresh lime juice Gimlets. There, I’ve said it. But for me, they’ve always lacked this bracing, bitter, tart edge that a Gimlet made with Rose’s Lime has. Those qualities have always stuck in my head…
WINTER BASIL SMASH
handful fresh basil
1 oz lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
2 oz aquavit
Garnish: basil leaf
Method: Set aside one basil leaf as garnish. In a shaker, muddle remaining basil leaves with lemon juice and simple syrup. Add aquavit and ice cubes, shake, and double strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice cubes.
An interesting riff on the Gin Basil Smash, it's refreshing yet has a touch of warming notes from the aquavit. Don't be scared off by the two full shots. This one is balanced nicely by the generous amounts of lemon and simple. I had Thai basil on hand when I took the photo and I thought it worked well in the cocktail, even though the spec calls for the Italian variety. I first saw this one on IG from theeducatedbarfly.

¼ oz Campari
1½ oz Tequila blanco
Garnish: lime wheel
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with 12 ounces crushed ice, shake, and double-strain into a coupe glass. Garnish by placing lime wheel on the rim of the glass.

Dracula's Nightcap
½ oz lemon juice
¼ oz simple syrup
½ oz red beet juice
¾ oz tawny port
1½ oz mezcal reposado
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Garnish: salt rim
Method: Salt the coupe with black salt. Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir with ice. Double strain into coupe.
An original of mine. I consider it a margarita riff and got inspired by the carrot-based Power Up Technique (look through my profile). It's very earthy, which pairs well with the mezcal. Plus, the color makes it perfect for Halloween!

Power-Up Technique
¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz carrot juice
½ oz simple syrup
2 oz mezcal joven
a few sliced chilis
Garnish: salt rim, lime twist
Method: Prepare the glass by rubbing the rim with lime then dipping it in salt. Combine all remaining ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Open pour into the glass and garnish with lime twist.
A lovely margarita riff from @[email protected] — the carrot works so well bringing both sweetness and an earthy tone to complement the mezcal. I have a balcony-grown chili as a garnish in the photo, but for the drink itself I often prefer for a couple dashes of tabasco or other vinegar hot sauce to add heat.

Gin Basil Smash
handful fresh basil
1 oz lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
2 oz london dry gin
Garnish: basil sprig
Method: muddle the basil leaves and gin in a shaker. Let sit for two minutes to absorb more color. Add the remaining ingredients with crushed ice, shake, and double strain. Serve up or over a big rock.
This is a go-to on a sunny day, and half the reason I keep two kinds of basil growing on the balcony 🪴 I wanted to use the last of my purple basil before the nights get too cold, and was really pleased with the turnout!
