Hey everyone,
I’ve been experimenting with homemade syrups and want to take it beyond the basic sugar and water mix. When making an Old Fashioned, have any of you tried adding unexpected flavors like smoked spices, herbal notes, or caramelized citrus to bring depth to the cocktail?
I’m also curious about techniques for achieving the perfect texture and sweetness that doesn’t overpower the whiskey. Homemade versus high-quality store-bought options, is it worth it or not?
I’d love to hear your recipes, tips, or experimental blends that surprised you.
