Cucumber Simple Syrup
Alongside citrus fruit, cucumber is an excellent bright and breezy summer flavour. It has cool flavours that add a nice light vegetal note to a number of cocktails. Its approachable and delicate flavours and aromas can often be overlooked when creating cocktails. Cucumber can be muddled into a cocktail to introduce some cucumber flavour or made into a delicious syrup, introducing some amazing essences as well as some much needed sweetness into any of your favourite cocktail recipes.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Water
- Half Of An English Cucumber
- Pinch of salt
DIRECTIONS
- Cut a cucumber in half and peel one half. Put the other unpeeled half in the refrigerator, this can be used as cocktail garnishes.
