How to make your very own wine syrup
To create a simple syrup for cocktails, mix equal parts cane sugar and flat wine in a saucepan, heating it gently while stirring until you achieve a concentrated syrup. Feel free to adjust the ratios based on your preferred consistency, but keep the heat low to prevent burning. If you like, you can substitute honey or maple syrup for the sugar, and don’t hesitate to add spices or other flavor infusions. From fresh herbs to citrus, the possibilities are endless.
Once the syrup reaches your desired thickness, allow it to cool and then strain it into a bottle. You’ll have a delicious wine syrup ready to chill in the fridge for cocktail hour. Just remember to label the bottle with the date, as most wine syrups can spoil after about a month, depending on the ingredients used.
This method is quite straightforward, so consider trying it instead of discarding leftover sparkling wine. While it’s an excellent way to repurpose an old bottle of bubbly, you can also transform unused bottles of red, white, or rosé wine into syrup, so don’t limit yourself. Whether you have a sauvignon blanc, Champagne, or cava that’s lost its sparkle, you can easily revive those flavors with this inventive approach.
