What's a simple syrup?

Nigel

When making simple syrup infuse with a earl grey tea bag or even chamomile, then make gin tonic as recipe.

This is Perfect with No simple syrup actually, just 3-4 dashes Orange bitters(Regan's)

Thirsty Hippo

How the heck does one achieve decent citrus twists for garnish such as pictured in this recipe? I would love to serve with such a grand corkscrew ribbon twist like this.

Heather M

Excellent. I used a dehydrated orange slice. Nice and refreshing

Cheryl

I used a teaspoon of triple sec in lieu of simple syrup, but you really don’t need either one.
