I see Jabbo goes even stevens. What are other people doing? Grog log recipe. Usually I use superfine sugar instead of simple syrup in cocktails. The way I look at it with simple syrup you're just adding water to your drinks. Adding superfine sugar and mixing before adding ice works best. Try a simple cocktail (like a daquiri) with syrup and then one with a bar spoon of sugar, or more to taste. See which one tastes better.
