Barbecue basics – simple drinks syrup

Makes enough for 8 cocktails

Combine 200g sugar and 240ml water in a small saucepan. Cook over a low heat, stirring, until the sugar has completely dissolved.

TOP TIP

The simple syrup can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to one month, so if you have plans for more summer cocktails you may like to make a large batch all at once!
