Dumb answers are plentiful! I've got a whole bucket of them if you need some of your own. if a recipe calls for say 1 oz rock candy or rich honey syrup ...Alternatively, if you have rock candy and it calls for simple syrup, can you use half as much? Generally, yes. To both. If you are ever not sure, make one cocktail with one method and make another with the other and see which one you like better. Remember, it is in the name of Science! And having to drink two cocktails to make sure is such a hardship, I don't know how you will ever manage. Maybe we should come over and help you test this theory. :wink:
