Nothing says Christmas like candy canes. This simple syrup amps up the holiday favorite for adults. It’s best mixed with vodka, rum or gin.
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 ½ cups water
- 10 small candy canes
Place all ingredients into a saucepot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. If you want more intense flavors and color, you can let the mixture cool for 30 minutes.
Strain the liquid to remove the candy. Pour the cooled mixture into a bottle or pitcher.
