How you mix yours.... - Tiki Drinks and Food

For example, for my simple syrup I use a 2 to 1 mix of turbanado sugar to water - generally much richer than basic simple syrup. The same for my honey mix, and passionfruit syrup. And then, I usually find pineapple juice to be a generally a strong flavor that overpowers others in a drink and thus will usually scale back a bit on that. My cinnamon infused syrup is usually quite rich, so I have to scale back on that a bit as well. What it boils down to is one's individual taste; ingredients on hand at the time the proportions of which, produces a balance acceptable to your palate. I bet you feel more like you do now now than you did when you came in. GENT [ Edited by: gentlehangman 2013-07-06 11:00 ]
