As always, make these your own! Adjust the ratios to your liking. If you want it sweeter, add more sugar. Less sweet? You know what to do. I won't stop you 😂 🥂 Time Stamps below 👇 1. Passion Fruit Syrup 0:39 2. Raspberry Syrup 3:15 3. Ginger Syrup 5:31 4. Cream of Coconut 8:29 5. Storage 11:54

Any time I end up with extra/leftover fresh herbs, I usually end up making a simple syrup with them, which tends to lead to herby lemonades (which mix so well with gin, rum, or tequilla in the summer). My favorites tend to be mint, fennel, basil, or rosemary. But I've also done ginger and mulling spice syrups in the fall and winter. Dried sorrel/hibiscus makes for a gorgeous red syrup that goes well both in lemonade drinks and in heavier/spicier drinks.

Love your channel. A lot of my fellow bartenders want nothing to do with making drinks away from the restaurant but I actually enjoy the process a lot more at home. A little trick I learned to make super quick raspberry syrup. Freeze dried raspberry put through a food processor until they become a fine powder then added to hot simple syrup until you like the flavor. Very authentic raspberry flavor. Works well with any freeze dried fruit. I like peach a lot

What I found disconcerting about Coco Lopez was that its kind of brown. You know another great use for these syrups, which I never see mentioned on cocktail videos, is for tea,especially iced tea, and sometimes coffee. Passionfruit(and mango) syrup is amazing in iced tea. You can also make Italian sodas with them.

For a Christmas recipe, I had to candy some citrus peel. Basically you get strips of zest as if for cocktail garnishes and slice it into ribbons or dice it and then boil it in a sugar syrup for a while, drain it on a rack and toss with some granulated sugar. What was more exciting, however, was the mixed citrus syrup that was left at the end of the process. Absolutely fabulous in any cocktail with citrus juice and syrup!

I make my own candied ginger to make gingersnaps. To make it, I have to boil the ginger until it's soft. I then use equal parts sugar and the boiled ginger water to make a ginger syrup. It's fantastic in tea.

Anders makes most of his syrups with 1.5 : 1 sugar to water and I like the results. You might want to try increasing the richness of your syrup. I'm getting ready to try this with Alton Brown's candied ginger recipe.

@frocat5163 Ай бұрын

@@iamalandstander *"Anders makes most of his syrups with 1.5 : 1 sugar to water and I like the results."* First, the point of a ratio in a recipe is to eliminate the need for fractions / decimals, so "1.5:1" is a nonsensical way to write a ratio; the proper format is 3:2. Second, Anders makes some syrups with a 3:2 ratio sugar to water. He makes others at 1:1. Of course, my comment had nothing to do with how Anders makes his syrups...it was just a comment on a ginger syrup I make. *"You might want to try increasing the richness of your syrup. "* Except I'm happy with my ginger syrup the way I make it, so, no, I definitely don't want to try increasing its richness. As someone who's been cooking for several decades, including creating my own recipes and making my own components for those recipes, I'm well aware of what I can do in the kitchen. I'm also experienced enough to know what I like and what I want. If I wanted my ginger syrup to be richer, I'd add more sugar to it. *"I'm getting ready to try this with Alton Brown's candied ginger recipe. "* I've been using Alton's candied ginger recipe more than 10 years. I've altered several aspects of it over the years to figure out what I like best. If you'd like to use the cooking liquid to make a ginger syrup at 3:2 sugar to ginger water, you do you Peggy Sue. Make it 2:1 if you'd like. Make it 1:4. Make it 27:8. Much like Yukon Cornelius, I'll suggest you eat what you like, and I'll eat what I like.

I searched in vain for the frozen passionfruit pulp. Even in my local Mexican grocery, they seemed to have every frozen fruit pulp but. So I turned to the 'fruit juice/nectars' aisle and found a bottle of dafruita passionfruit (Maracuya) juice concentrate. I bought one and followed Anders' instructions for a 1.5 to one syrup (500 ml bottle of concentrate to 750 grams of sugar). I don't know what the real thing is supposed to taste like, but this stuff is fantastic. As stated in the video, it does taste like a fruit rollup. I hope this helps those who can't find the frozen product! Cheers.

After paying $16 for passion fruit syrup (8.5 oz), I finally made my own. I couldn't find Goya anywhere but I found a 12 oz bag of Pitaya at Walmart of all places (about $4, cute little frozen cubes), added about 2 cups of sugar, et voila! It yielded about 2.5 c. It's Hurricane Season!

Put together a little thing I call Moroccan Night, inspired by a trip a while back where I had the pleasure to spend a night by the campfire with members of a Bedouin tribe in Morocco. 2oz gin (I used Stranger&Sons), 2oz cooled Moroccan Mint tea, 1oz clarified lime juice (regular will do), 1oz mint syrup (1:1 simple cooked with a couple of solid fistfuls of mint). Thanks for your awesome content and hope this recipe is enjoyed by someone somewhere. I sure am right now 😊

I've been making ginger syrup for years for ginger ale and I don't measure anything. I slice enough ginger to cover the bottom of whatever pan I'm using. fill with water, bring to a boil, simmer and reduce halfway. Then strain 3 times and add sugar to taste, usually slightly less than the exact amount of liquid, as I like it strong and spicy. And I never peel it, just brush it off if anything.

Tried the Cream of Coconut with Iberia Organic Coconut Milk and was disappointed. Added more sugar, which fixed the texture and flavor, but over did the sweetness. Turns out ArtOfDrink's recipe isn't calling for 'coconut powder', but 'Coconut MILK Powder'. My local stores have a couple brands in the International Foods section. It is used improve the flavor and the texture; just what I'm looking for. Also, the recipe says full fat coconut milk, but if you read AoD's article, it should be Coconut Cream not milk. Again, richer. I will definitely try the original recipe next time. Btw, a pinch of salt is technically 1/16th of a teaspoon. ArtofDrink's recipe calls for 1/8th of a teaspoon which is a dash.

I've done this. It works well, especially for those syrups which you might not find yourself using often at home.
