I'm slowly going through your backlog. These prep videos are gold for a simple home bartender, because finding good syrup recipes is soooo hard online.
Any time I end up with extra/leftover fresh herbs, I usually end up making a simple syrup with them, which tends to lead to herby lemonades (which mix so well with gin, rum, or tequilla in the summer). My favorites tend to be mint, fennel, basil, or rosemary. But I've also done ginger and mulling spice syrups in the fall and winter. Dried sorrel/hibiscus makes for a gorgeous red syrup that goes well both in lemonade drinks and in heavier/spicier drinks.
I only just now figured out your "It's 5 o-clock somewhere" wall clock back there. "Wow, he's really consistent with when he records his video-oh, rightttt..."
Love your channel. A lot of my fellow bartenders want nothing to do with making drinks away from the restaurant but I actually enjoy the process a lot more at home. A little trick I learned to make super quick raspberry syrup. Freeze dried raspberry put through a food processor until they become a fine powder then added to hot simple syrup until you like the flavor. Very authentic raspberry flavor. Works well with any freeze dried fruit. I like peach a lot
What I found disconcerting about Coco Lopez was that its kind of brown. You know another great use for these syrups, which I never see mentioned on cocktail videos, is for tea,especially iced tea, and sometimes coffee. Passionfruit(and mango) syrup is amazing in iced tea. You can also make Italian sodas with them.
10 cl of cointreau, 10 cl of lemon juice, 7.5 cl of simple sirup, mix in a jar (in a big glass bowl), add 200 gr of raspberrys , let it macerate for the night, then filter by crushinf the raspeberrys like in the video. Invite friends. At the last moment, add in your jar a bottle of Prosecco. serve... enjoy !
I searched in vain for the frozen passionfruit pulp. Even in my local Mexican grocery, they seemed to have every frozen fruit pulp but. So I turned to the 'fruit juice/nectars' aisle and found a bottle of dafruita passionfruit (Maracuya) juice concentrate. I bought one and followed Anders' instructions for a 1.5 to one syrup (500 ml bottle of concentrate to 750 grams of sugar). I don't know what the real thing is supposed to taste like, but this stuff is fantastic. As stated in the video, it does taste like a fruit rollup. I hope this helps those who can't find the frozen product! Cheers.
For a Christmas recipe, I had to candy some citrus peel. Basically you get strips of zest as if for cocktail garnishes and slice it into ribbons or dice it and then boil it in a sugar syrup for a while, drain it on a rack and toss with some granulated sugar. What was more exciting, however, was the mixed citrus syrup that was left at the end of the process. Absolutely fabulous in any cocktail with citrus juice and syrup!
I make my own candied ginger to make gingersnaps. To make it, I have to boil the ginger until it's soft. I then use equal parts sugar and the boiled ginger water to make a ginger syrup. It's fantastic in tea.
Anders makes most of his syrups with 1.5 : 1 sugar to water and I like the results. You might want to try increasing the richness of your syrup. I'm getting ready to try this with Alton Brown's candied ginger recipe.
@@iamalandstander *"Anders makes most of his syrups with 1.5 : 1 sugar to water and I like the results."* First, the point of a ratio in a recipe is to eliminate the need for fractions / decimals, so "1.5:1" is a nonsensical way to write a ratio; the proper format is 3:2.

Great tutorial!!! I make the cream of coconut exactly as you made it except I do not heat it. I put the ingredients in a Magic Bullet and go to town for 3 to 5 minutes and it turns out great! P. S. I do add a bit of vodka for longevity ;)
Hey Anders, started watching you like two months ago and i gotta say, i appreciate and love the quallity of your work. Making/sharing classic cocktails or your variations? That's fine for me. But sharing recipes for syrups and all that stuff? ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Can't wait for more. Cheers to you.
Saw this video and got inspired. Put together a little thing I call Moroccan Night, inspired by a trip a while back where I had the pleasure to spend a night by the campfire with members of a Bedouin tribe in Morocco. 2oz gin (I used Stranger&Sons), 2oz cooled Moroccan Mint tea, 1oz clarified lime juice (regular will do), 1oz mint syrup (1:1 simple cooked with a couple of solid fistfuls of mint). Thanks for your awesome content and hope this recipe is enjoyed by someone somewhere. I sure am right now 😊
I've been making ginger syrup for years for ginger ale and I don't measure anything. I slice enough ginger to cover the bottom of whatever pan I'm using. fill with water, bring to a boil, simmer and reduce halfway. Then strain 3 times and add sugar to taste, usually slightly less than the exact amount of liquid, as I like it strong and spicy. And I never peel it, just brush it off if anything.
After paying $16 for passion fruit syrup (8.5 oz), I finally made my own. I couldn't find Goya anywhere but I found a 12 oz bag of Pitaya at Walmart of all places (about $4, cute little frozen cubes), added about 2 cups of sugar, et voila! It yielded about 2.5 c. It's Hurricane Season!
I like the tip on the frozen passionfruit pulp. Also in the Chicago area and though I'm able to find fresh passionfruit but they tend to be $2.50 to $3.00 a piece so the last time I made passionfruit syrup I had to buy about $25 worth of passionfruit.
What got me about Coco Lopez the first time I opened on of their cans, was the color! It's tan! I had used coconut milk for years, so I knew about coconut separating, but I thought cream of coconut would be white.
hey Anders, agree with some of the other comments here, great stuff on the prep items for home newbies like me. Can you do a falernum or other complex syrup video? Fantastic stuff.
I'm a new subscriber. I'm really enjoying your videos and am learning a lot. Great tips. On a side note, I get the feeling like you were a bit tipsy for this video. It was still great! It just had a different ... feel then the others I've watched. Loved it!
If you ever try a mango syrup, I once made a terrific mango chutney where the recipe called for a sugar from Asia called jaggery. It was a granulated sugar with a very interesting flavour similar to molasses but different and unique all to its own. I’m sure it would make an amazing syrup.
Hello, thank you for your videos ! Always a pleasure. Just wanted to know once the coconut recipe done, how long time does it last ? Also, do I have to keep it en the fridge ? Thank you !
I will likely use my non-bleached sugar. It gives it more color, for better or worse...but I like that sugar better. I can see those being a fun a "real" way to flavor coffee or teas.
The trick to coco Lopez is to put the can in a container of really hot water. Leave there for a few minutes and then shake well. That should do the trick
Great tutorial, thank you very much! About the Ginger Syrup, pealing the skin or not, besides the color, the fact of remove the skin...affects the flavor? Thanks again!
Thank you! Have you ever taken the sweet soaked ginger and low heat baked it or dehydrated it? Crystalized ginger usually cooks the ginger but it's worth a try. A shame to throw away the ginger slices.
I was gonna ask what the shelf life is for syrups. Thanks for including that info (at the end). And FWIW you’re channel is one of just a few reasons I wish I didn’t move from the Chicagoland area (just subscribed), I think I would have tried to come have a drink at your establishment. Maybe have you mix up a drink for me on my next trip back to HQ (my company is Chicago based)? PS - to to be metro as us GenX’ers used to say, I think you should rock the ‘stache again, it works well for you.
Three things :) 1) thanks for your syrup videos there are great. 2) have you ever heard about lucuma? If you haven’t play with it :) best thing in the world. Goya also have a lucuma pulp that I use for making ice cream, I’m going to try to make a syrup with it next! :) 3) this is a big ask 😂 but can you make videos on how to make bitters from scratch?
I've done this. It works well, especially for those syrups which you might not find yourself using often at home. I prefer to freeze little 8 (or 4) ounce mason jars full as I feel it further minimizes oxidation exposure over time. That might be overkill on my part, but it gives me something to do with the ton of them I happen to have lying around.
hey bro, I found out that the best (in my view) and authentic ginger syrup can be done by simply combining 1-1 juice from juiced ginger and sugar. no heat is required only stirring with a whisker, acidity will do its job
Tip for the ginger syrup: Stick to the version he makes in the video as opposed to the suggested if you have the appropriate tools. Why? Because blending ginger makes too much of a mess as opposed to the version in the video which is easy and quick.
@AndersErickson - you mentioned freezing syrups, can I freeze all syrups (simple demarra vs ginger, both)? What’s the shelf life in the fridge after thawing?
Not sure if you look at comments on older videos, but I was just reading about gum syrup that uses gum arabic, and was curious if you ever tried using it in any of your syrups and what you think about it.
You can also just pull it out and let it thaw in the fridge. So…I guess pull it out as early as you need to have it thaw in time? If you’re in a rush, the water bath is a great idea (sealed container, cold water).
should I separate the kernels/seeds from the pulp if I use fresh passion fruit for the boiling/syrup-making process, or can I leave them in and strain them off later?
Do you strain the passion fruit syrup before bottling? Mine came out clumpy and pulpy. You can see the pulp in drinks. Maybe I need to strain the drinks before serving?
No additional water - just the pulp with sugar. The extra sugar I add balances out the tart pulp and makes for a thicker syrup, so less is needed in the cocktail and texture is added. Give it a try and see what you think! Cheers, Jacob!
A cup is a cup, but don’t take my word for it, fill a dry measuring cup with water and pour it into a liquid measure. Dry measures are better for baking because of the ability to level them off with a straight edge like the back of a knife.
Tried the Cream of Coconut with Iberia Organic Coconut Milk and was disappointed. Added more sugar, which fixed the texture and flavor, but over did the sweetness. Turns out ArtOfDrink's recipe isn't calling for 'coconut powder', but 'Coconut MILK Powder'. My local stores have a couple brands in the International Foods section. It is used improve the flavor and the texture; just what I'm looking for. Also, the recipe says full fat coconut milk, but if you read AoD's article, it should be Coconut Cream not milk. Again, richer. I will definitely try the original recipe next time. Btw, a pinch of salt is technically 1/16th of a teaspoon. ArtofDrink's recipe calls for 1/8th of a teaspoon which is a dash.
I made the ginger syrup and it just wasn't anywhere near hot and gingery enough for me. I want to use it to make really spicy force-carbonated ginger ale. I even grated the ginger before adding it to the pot. Should I just add more ginger? Let it steep for longer? Reduce the water and/or sugar? Halp!
Search for 'crystalized ginger' recipes. I get a very strong, gingery syrup from it. Basically peel, thinly slice a lot of ginger, simmer with white syrup & other optional spices (I like whole cardamom seeds, but also try cinnamon sticks, dried chili pepper flakes). Simmer 20 ~ 60 minutes. Drain, squeeze out syrup - a potato ricer helps, but just your hands is fine. Fluff ginger slices with white sugar, which will extract more liquid. Squeeze out more syrup from the ginger slices, repeat white sugar & ginger slicing until almost no syrup comes out. Dry ginger slices - slices on parchment paper in low temp oven, maybe food dehydrator. I dry slices down to crispy hard & love the pop of flavor from biting in to cardamom seeds; lasts many months+ when dried that hard & stored in airtight bags. Or dry to a gummy texture, use as drink garnish, eat straight. I eat the crispy slices as a snack. Syrup can be frozen. I keep simmering the syrup down to 'hard crack' stage in candy making, bake at low temp, grind in food processor down & get granulated ginger syrup, which lasts many months in airtight bags. All those steps do take time - about 2 or 3 nights after work. Enjoy a drink, music or podcasts while doing the work.
As always, make these your own!
Adjust the ratios to your liking. If you want it sweeter, add more sugar. Less sweet? You know what to do.

Lavender is great in lemonade, too -- it makes it beautifully pink.

05:49 ... you can also use a coffee filter, or put a couple sheets of household paper in your strainer to filter the syrup ...
I would love to see some more non alcoholic cocktails.
Whenever I need to strain some small particulates out, I usually put a paper towel in the strainer. Takes a long time, but seems to work fine.
Hello, thank you for your videos ! Always a pleasure. Just wanted to know once the coconut recipe done, how long time does it last ?

Frozen Raspberries are a fantastic option to use for syrups when raspberries arent in season!

Thoughts on freezing them in ice cube trays? That way you can just get a cube or two and melt it when you want to make a drink with them

yes

Howmany times can you freeze and thaw a syrup before it goes bad?
I like this video
should I separate the kernels/seeds from the pulp if I use fresh passion fruit for the boiling/syrup-making process, or can I leave them in and strain them off later?
Do you strain the passion fruit syrup before bottling? Mine came out clumpy and pulpy. You can see the pulp in drinks. Maybe I need to strain the drinks before serving?
Hello! How long does the ginger and coconut syrup last in the fridge?
Hi, thanx for the video. I need to make a cherry syrup. Would you use the method as your raspberry syrup?
Hey man do You also get to make homemade liqueurs? If you do i would love a "crem de cassis" recipe if you have please.🙏
Oh snap where in Puerto Rico you've been? I live there if you ever come back let's grab some drinks or even collaborate on making one!
whats the shelf life of this cream of coconut recipe>?
I know I’m late. How would you go about making syrups with sugar alternatives?
I like to if these syrupy can be made with monkfruit sweeter to reduce the sugars
“Endless possibilities people: you can pour them on the counter and attract ants if you want!”

can u just leave the jars in the home temperture or u have to preserve them in the fridge?
pour them over cake layers and use them in coffee and espresso drinks
would diluting the finished with like 50% everclear make them last longer?

Can i make strawberry or blueberry syrups with the same method as the raspberry?
Or does it need another recipe
Never thought id get into another mixology channel after only watching the holy grail How to Drink for a few years but this channel slaps lol
Would you happen to have a Bloody Mary recipe that you really like? Same for sweet & sour/ margarita mix?
Proper bartender, stirs EVERYTHING with a barspoon. I bet this man would stir a potato mash with a bar spoon too! :D
You should to come to costa rica. And taste the real passion fruit. It's amazing
Just to be clear, you added no additional water to the passionfruit syrup?
No additional water - just the pulp with sugar. The extra sugar I add balances out the tart pulp and makes for a thicker syrup, so less is needed in the cocktail and texture is added. Give it a try and see what you think! Cheers, Jacob!
are you measuring solids in a liquid measuring cup?
A cup is a cup, but don’t take my word for it, fill a dry measuring cup with water and pour it into a liquid measure. Dry measures are better for baking because of the ability to level them off with a straight edge like the back of a knife.
Tried the Cream of Coconut with Iberia Organic Coconut Milk and was disappointed. Added more sugar, which fixed the texture and flavor, but over did the sweetness.
Turns out ArtOfDrink's recipe isn't calling for 'coconut powder', but 'Coconut MILK Powder'. My local stores have a couple brands in the International Foods section. It is used improve the flavor and the texture; just what I'm looking for. Also, the recipe says full fat coconut milk, but if you read AoD's article, it should be Coconut Cream not milk. Again, richer. I will definitely try the original recipe next time.
Btw, a pinch of salt is technically 1/16th of a teaspoon. ArtofDrink's recipe calls for 1/8th of a teaspoon which is a dash.
You did all that and the clock STILL shows 5 o' clock! Anders = Time Lord.
u can even use it for coctails!
Awesome, great video!! Thanks!!
I made the ginger syrup and it just wasn't anywhere near hot and gingery enough for me. I want to use it to make really spicy force-carbonated ginger ale. I even grated the ginger before adding it to the pot. Should I just add more ginger? Let it steep for longer? Reduce the water and/or sugar? Halp!
Search for 'crystalized ginger' recipes. I get a very strong, gingery syrup from it. Basically peel, thinly slice a lot of ginger, simmer with white syrup & other optional spices (I like whole cardamom seeds, but also try cinnamon sticks, dried chili pepper flakes). Simmer 20 ~ 60 minutes. Drain, squeeze out syrup - a potato ricer helps, but just your hands is fine. Fluff ginger slices with white sugar, which will extract more liquid. Squeeze out more syrup from the ginger slices, repeat white sugar & ginger slicing until almost no syrup comes out. Dry ginger slices - slices on parchment paper in low temp oven, maybe food dehydrator. I dry slices down to crispy hard & love the pop of flavor from biting in to cardamom seeds; lasts many months+ when dried that hard & stored in airtight bags. Or dry to a gummy texture, use as drink garnish, eat straight. I eat the crispy slices as a snack. Syrup can be frozen. I keep simmering the syrup down to 'hard crack' stage in candy making, bake at low temp, grind in food processor down & get granulated ginger syrup, which lasts many months in airtight bags. All those steps do take time - about 2 or 3 nights after work. Enjoy a drink, music or podcasts while doing the work.
