citrus simple syrup

A traditional method of pulling out the concentrated flavors of citrus peels for cocktails

Oleo Saccharum Recipe

Citrus Peels (1 1/2 cups packed)

Cane Sugar (2/3 cup)

Boiling Water (2 Tbs)

Tbs Everclear or High Proof Vodka (optional)

Peel the citrus trying to avoid the bitter white part and place the peels into a clean bowl.

Add the sugar onto the peels and stir to coat them.

Let the mixture sit covered for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Strain off the liquid into a bottle to store.

Leave the peels in their original container (the liquid has been strained off) and pour boiling water over the peels to rinse remaining sugar and oils.

Strain off liquid again into the same bottle as the first straining.

Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Add a splash of neutral alcohol to help preserve if you&#039;d like.

This Sweet and Sour Mix is easy to make with only three ingredients and it is the key to making the BEST margaritas! &nbsp;It keeps in the refrigerator for about a week and makes two pitchers of margaritas. Or you can keep it in the freezer for a month!
