I mentioned in my last post that one of the easiest ways to put your own twist on a cocktail recipe is to switch out the simple syrup.

Seriously, once you master making your own simple syrups, the sky’s the limit for your cocktail concoctions.

I created this rosemary sage simple syrup specifically to use in the Cowboy Cure-All, but I think it would bring some amazing autumnal warmth to classics like the Gimlet and the Lemon Drop.

When it comes to making simple syrups, I prefer to make it in smaller batches so that I’m able to use it all up before it goes bad. Most simple syrups last 2-4 weeks in the fridge but you can also add a splash of vodka to them to help them last a little longer.

I’ve always got several different simple syrups hanging out in the door of my refrigerator. Jars like these make it easy to store them all.

Ingredients for Rosemary Sage Simple Syrup

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water

How to Make Rosemary Sage Simple Syrup

Add sugar and water to a small saucepan. Heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Add the sage and rosemary. Allow the herbs to steep for 15-20 minutes. Once the syrup is cool, pour the syrup into a small, lidded container. You can remove the herbs from the syrup or leave them in for added flavor. The syrup should keep for about 2 weeks in the fridge.
