Kitchen Tips:
- Utilize mise en place! Make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and ready before you begin making this recipe – it will help save you time and keep you organized.
- How to make simple syrup: Simple syrup is, unironically, a very simple cocktail ingredient to make! Just heat equal parts water and sugar (I usually do 1/2 cup each) in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Chill to at least room temperature before using.
- Don’t forget to strain. If you want a smooth cocktail, be sure to strain your drink into your glass so any leftover bits of jam don’t make it in!
