How to Make Saturday Morning Syrup

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup light corn syrup.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is clear.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of your favorite liqueur (Irish cream, coffee liqueur, amaretto, hazelnut liqueur, etc.).
  4. Return the saucepan to low heat and gently simmer for 2-3 minutes to cook off some of the alcohol. This step enhances the flavor and reduces the alcohol content.
  5. Taste and adjust: For a thinner syrup or stronger liqueur flavor, add more liqueur (1/4 cup at a time). For a thicker syrup, add more sugar (1 tablespoon at a time). Stir well after each addition.
  6. Remove from heat. To speed cooling and thicken the syrup, place the saucepan in an ice bath for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Once cooled, your delicious Saturday Morning Syrup is ready to use! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
