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, but Angostura works well. I don’t think Splenda would work here since it will not make a syrup.
This syrup lends itself to several different drinks. By changing the bitters and the base liquor, you can make a Winter Old Fashioned or a Tequila Traditional al Cubo
- 1 cup Turbinado Sugar, or 3/4 cup WheyLow
- 4 ozs. Good Bourbon
- 2 ozs. Angostura Bitters
- Add all ingredients to a sauce pan over medium heat
- Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved
