Recipes Tips
If you don’t have simple syrup, you can make it by combining equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool before using.
If you’re not a fan of salt, you can rim the glass with sugar instead.
You can also add a splash of soda water to the cocktail for a little fizz.
Feel free to adjust the amount of simple syrup to your taste. If you like your cocktails sweeter, add more simple syrup, and if you prefer them less sweet, add less.
