Have you ever finished making something and thought… why didn’t I film that? 🍓🍸
I was just about to film Thirsty Thursday when the recipe called for a raspberry simple syrup.
So I made it.
Gave it a taste.
And immediately realized this part deserved its own moment.
If you’ve never made simple syrup at home, it really is that easy —
equal parts sugar and water, gently dissolved on the stovetop.
And when you want flavour?
Add fruit.
For this one:
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
½ cup raspberries
Let it simmer, be patient, let it cool, then strain.
That’s it.
What you’re left with is bright, fresh, and perfect for cocktails —
or honestly, even a splash in sparkling water.
Sometimes the simplest things end up being the best part of the recipe.
Do you make your own cocktail basics at home,
or do you usually grab them ready-made?
👇 I’d love to hear.
