Rich Simple Syrup
A thicker, sweeter syrup that adds sweetness with less volume — perfect for spirit-forward drinks.
2:1 Ratio
Rich Simple Syrup is thicker and sweeter than standard 1:1. Any time you come across "Rich" in front of the syrup, it implies a 2:1 ratio.
Along with being sweeter, it is more viscous and can affect the texture of the drink. If used in a Spirit Forward drink it can add sweetness while not adding as much volume, allowing other ingredients to shine.
You can make it on the stove or in a bowl using the same methods as Simple Syrup — just use twice the sugar (e.g. 200g sugar to 100g water).
Refrigerate between uses and it will keep for up to a week.
