How to Make Strawberry Syrup For Cocktails
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to simmer.
- Add 1 pound (approximately 2 cups) of fresh, sliced strawberries to the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the strawberries have softened and released their juices, and the syrup has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- Transfer the strained strawberry syrup to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before using. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
