Homemade Raspberry Syrup {no cooking}

Today, we'll delve into the second of three methods for crafting raspberry syrup perfect for cocktails. Previously, we explored the quickest route using the stove.

Now, we'll tackle the method requiring the most patience yet promising a deeply flavorful outcome. This approach involves preparing raspberry syrup using a preserving jar and allowing it to infuse in the fridge for three to five days.

This method shines brightest during summer when you least want to be stuck at the stove. Despite the wait for the raspberry syrup to mature, the relief of avoiding the summer heat in the kitchen is truly invaluable.

Your patience will be handsomely rewarded with a fragrant raspberry syrup, perfect for concoctions like a refreshing raspberry lemon drop martini or a tantalizing raspberry gin and tonic.

🥘 Ingredients

• Fresh Raspberries: Opt for the ripest raspberries to infuse your homemade syrup with a vibrant burst of fruity essence. You will fill your mason jar to the brim with these luscious gems.
• Granulated Sugar: For this recipe, use regular granulated sugar. Its uniform texture ensures swift and even dissolution, resulting in a velvety smooth syrup. Avoid brown sugar, as it could add unwanted flavor nuances.
