How to Make Orange Simple Syrup
The perfect sweetener for any cocktail that needs an orange flavor boost! A little of this added to your bar drinks will take them from just okay to absolutely amazing!
Ingredients
- 3 cups orange juice no pulp
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp Triple Sec optional
Instructions
- Pour the orange juice and the sugar into a saucepan over medium-high and stir to blend. Bring to a boil, stirring often so the sugar does not stick to the bottom. Once mixture starts to boil, reduce heat to medium and cook until the liquid has reduced to about 1 cup. Stir occasionally. The color will start to darken as liquid reduces. Once the liquid has reduced to 1 cup, remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool.
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Chef Tips
Be careful when handling the cooked syrup. It will be extremely hot.
