Looking for an easy way to make your homemade cocktails really stand out? The answer is simple — simple syrup, that is. Since you're already taking the time to create your sweetener, give it a flavor boost with the help of a vanilla pod. This will add a new dimension to various cocktails, from homemade espresso martinis to whiskey sours. Of course, vanilla simple syrup doesn't have to go into a cocktail. Use it to sweeten hot or iced coffee for an incredible vanilla latte, brush it onto a cake for extra moisture, or use it to macerate fruit as a topping for yogurt or ice cream. Simple syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to a month. With gifting season upon us, you can buy vanilla syrups online, such as the all-natural Pink House Alchemy vanilla syrup. . . . . . #SudenPR #Client #PublicRelations #Press #PinkHouseAlchemy #FlavoredSyrups #Bitters #Shrubs #EmilyLawson #Cocktails #Mocktails #Bartenders #Mixologists #NonAlcoholicDrinks #BoozyDrinks #ShrubSyrups #Arkansas #CocktailSyrups #VanillaSyrup #TastingTable

Garnishes can make or break a cocktail by complimenting their flavour and adding a touch of elegance. If you want to add something extra to your drink, our quick guide will ensure your glass is decorated with the right flourish. Lime – use for margaritas, mojitos and drinks containing a sour mix to enhance their taste. Lemon – typically used to garnish drinks such as an old fashioned or a whiskey sour, but also work well with martinis. Cherries – delicious with piña coladas, Mai Tais and whiskey-based drinks to add a sweet taste. They also go well with anything that uses a sour mix but give any glass a vibrant look. Olives – Best used for gin-based drinks or vodka martinis. Avoid using with fruity cocktails and make sure you use one or three olives as two is said to bring bad luck! #cocktails #mixologists #cocktails #cocktailgifts #gift #giftideas
