Rosemary Simple Syrup
Check out this herbal rosemary simple syrup, that is perfect in both cocktails and mocktails!
In the course of making cocktails, we try to make a lot of our own ingredients from scratch. One of our favorites to make is simple syrup. A Classic Simple Syrup can be an integral part of a cocktail, by adding sweetness and flavor to make the drink just right. We have made a lot of simple syrups out of herbs, fruit, and other sugars. To me, homemade simple syrup just tastes better, is less artificial, and is so easy to make!
Simple syrups can be infused with anything you can think of, so use your imagination and come up with your own unique flavors!
You can find a few cocktail books here to pick up for extra knowledge!

Can Simple Syrups go bad?
They can get moldy if they sit too long. I encourage you to store it in the fridge in a jar or bottle, but for no more than two weeks.
