Grenadine
Grenadine is made from pomegranates, not cherries. It is supposed to be red. If you boil this, it will be brown. There is no need to reduce the juice on the stove. Heat it just enough to dissolve the sugar, no more. You can use Whey Low, but it will…
Sangrita
Even though this has orange and lime, it is a tomato based sangrita. This is excellent, but my to-do-list includes working on a citrus based variety. 1 oz. lime juice 1 oz. orange juice 2 oz. Clamato ½ oz. grenadine 3 dashes Celery Bitters Combine all ingredients in mixing glass…
Tonic Water (Quinine Syrup)
I mucked around with this and finally went back to the original Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s version. He has a new version that uses a tincture of the cinchona bark. I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds like a good idea. I have tried it and prefer it to this recipe. …

Lemon or Lime Sour
I prefer a ratio of 2:1 juice to simple syrup. I have seen 1:1 and 3:1. If you like sour/tartness, reduce the simple syrup and/or add more juice. If you like it sweeter, do the opposite. Also, since fruit varies in flavor, always taste your mix and adjust accordingly. If…
Sweet and Sour Mix
This puts anything you could buy in a bottle to shame. If you like sour/tartness, reduce the simple syrup and/or add more juice. If you like it sweeter, do the opposite. Also, since fruit varies in flavor, always taste your mix and adjust accordingly. 1 cup Simple syrup 1 cup…
“Old Fashioned” Simple Syrup
I got this idea from Jamie Boudreau – famous mixologist. I make this with WheyLow, which goes into solution, but I can only get 3/4 cup to dissolve. Plus, the WheyLow will start to come out of solution after a few days. I prefer my house made bitters, of course,…
