Simple syrup is one of the more widely-used components in cocktails, being found everywhere from mojitos and whiskey sours to mojitos with mint leaves added in. But exactly what is simple syrup made out of? In essence it consists of just sugar dissolved over heat in water with any excess being removed through distillation – meaning there really isn’t a need to include extra sweetener! When so many cocktails already contain an excessive amount of sweetness this seems redundant?
Now we don’t mean for you to give up cocktails entirely, we are simply advocating reducing sugar intake wherever possible. Stevia simple syrup offers one solution. As it’s 200x sweeter than sugar, its ratio may not exactly resemble that of regular simple syrup recipes but with just minor adjustments you could soon be back mixing like an expert mixer in no time at all!
