💡Tip:

• Next time we will garnish our glasses with a read cherry for a little extra cheer 🍒

*What is simple syrup?

Simple syrup is a liquid sweetener made by dissolving sugar in water. You just need to mix equal parts water & sugar together.

Directions

1. Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool.
