Keep it Simple Syrup Photos by Jonna Dodge
Flavored simple syrup is a cinch to make and creates awesome mocktails (or cocktails—depending on the time of day)! It’s made using water, a natural sweetener, and your choice of herbs, spices, or fruit. You can create refreshing spring drinks using club soda, ginger beer, iced tea or lemonade. Chilled white wine, gin, or vodka can be used for adult beverages. Turn the page for some recipes to help you create your own.
