Just A Merry Mocktail Monday Collab with @Tonix.Mocktails – The Staples Class 103: Easy To Make Customizable Flavors For Your At Home Mocktail Making Experiences

At The Sober Curator our glass is always half-full, there’s just no booze in it. This weeks collaboration with @Tonix.Mocktails teaches us more about making your own flavored simple syrups at home.

The Staples Class 103: Homemade ingredients – flavored simple syrups 

Have you ever wondered how you can make customizable flavors for your at home Mocktail Making experiences? What if I tell you it’s as easy as 1,2,3? On this weeks “Just a Merry Mocktail Monday“: Let’s chat about homemade, customizable syrups for your alcohol free delight!

Flavored simple syrups are as simple to make as their namesake. (Was that a tongue twister?)  And the beauty is, you can make a variety of flavors! You are in control! This week I made a rose syrup using organic edible rose petals, organic cane sugar and water (1:1:1).

There are lots of places to get organic, edible rose petals. I ordered this bag from Amazon.

Head on over to your stove top!

• Dissolve the sugar in the water

• Add the roses

• Bring to a boil

• Cover

• Reduce to simmer for 10 minutes

• Then remove from heat

• Strain out the rose petals

• Bottle

• Label

Sober Curator Pro Tip: You can thrift shop fun glass bottles for your syrup storage too!

BAM you’re done! You now have a yummy rose syrup in the fridge for the next two weeks! You can swap out the roses for any herb, really, and the remainder dried rose petals make perfect simple, yet effective, garnishes for your creations!

My friend Alysse (CEO and Co-Founder @thesobercurator), admittedly, is not one for lengthy time in the kitchen. After a brief chat and an email filled with recipes and ingredients, she made her very own Rose Syrup! (I’m so proud!)

Stay tuned for awesomeness that surrounds this story!:cliffhanger:

So grab your sensible Salvation Army glassware haul, make yourself some flavored simple, pour a little bubbly water and enjoy your NonAlc Journey!

Until Next Week!!To Your Health!-Nik

What do you get when you mix syrup and cute kiddos together?

We went on a hunt for funny “syrup” videos on YouTube and had to chuckle at these two videos below. Aren’t kids the cutest?
