"One of my favorite bourbon cocktails is a super lean Bourbon Flip with caramelized simple syrup (recipe coming soon) but before I am making that one I wanted to try something new and had a bottle of Bols Crème de Cacao Brown that was not getting any attention.
Frankly I haven’t made any chocolate:y cocktails I remotely enjoyed but I figured this syrup would match pretty well and this is a pretty darn good match!
I found this ratio to bring out the chocolate and the caramel taste to be really balanced so I wouldn’t go any lower than this.

One of my favorite bourbon cocktails is a super lean Bourbon Flip with caramelized simple syrup (recipe coming soon) but before I am making that one I wanted to try something new and had a bottle of Bols Crème de Cacao Brown that was not getting any attention.

Ingredients:
- Bourbon
- Creme De Cacao Brown
Instructions:
Add all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake to chill.
Strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube.
For the caramelized syrup I used a standard 1:1 sugar/water ratio and started with heating up the sugar without any water. Let the sugar melt and stir gently. You want to let it get that nice golden brown color before adding the water. Add only smaller portions of the water not to cool down the sugar too fast. Be VERY careful when adding the water since it most likely will react to the water and may splash a bit and you don’t want to burn your hands or even your face!
