I was headed to town to get some (gasp) bottled simple syrup and saw a Smart and Final Store and I thought I would buy some back up ice for TikiBroker’s party. I had plenny time to make some syrup without having to cook it so I bought a couple of 4 lb. bags of “Morena” sugar. It’s not as refined as white but definitely not sugar in the raw.I used a bag to make up enough syrup to use in the drink that I would be serving at TB’s party. The drink got lots of compliments so today I made some more but this time I was able to cook it a bit. It does not give you a “clear” syrup.It does give you a very tasty Mojito though. I don’t use Bacardi products cuz I prefer more full bodied rums. I make mojitos with fresh spearmint, Meyers Platinum White Rum, and Canada Dry Club Soda. cheers
