3. Still Hungry?
A sophisticated, summery cocktail.
Notes:
*Simple Syrup
Simple syrup is a fast way to sweet drinks: Just dissolve granulated sugar in an equal amount of boiling water, then chill. Make a few cups at a time and store for up to a month in the fridge. It's great for cocktails, iced tea, iced coffee and lemonade.
