Tag Archives: Syrups

I made a metric buttload of syrup the other day – 4 lbs. of Zulka to 4 cups of water… (2:1 by weight)  Then I batched it and made some flavor infusions… cardamom, coriander, cherry, honey, spearmint, cinnamon, and tamarind.  Came up with a few pretty interesting drinks… these were the highlights:

Man in the High Castle

2 oz. Bourbon

.75 oz. Cynar

.75 oz. Lemon Juice

.5 oz. Cardamom Syrup

Dry shake and pour over cubes in a high ball glass.  Top with soda.  It’s light and refreshing, yet flavorful and complex.

Chocolate Cherry Old Fash

2 oz. Bourbon

1 tbsp. Cherry Syrup

Scrappy’s Chocolate Bitters

Stir with a few cubes of ice, top with a bit of soda.  Be even radder.

Baron Von Kickass

2 oz. Bourbon

.75 oz. Averna

.75 oz. Lillet Blanc

1 tbsp. Coriander Syrup

Scrappy’s Lavender Bitters

Stir, serve down.  Easy on the lavender bitts, they’ll blow your shit up quick.
