Instructions

In a small pot on medium heat, combine syrup ingredients. Bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes until thickened slightly. Strain the syrup through a mesh strainer into a jar. You can keep this in the fridge up to a week to use for more cocktails!
In a cocktail shaker or mason jar, add the cocktail ingredients and shake for 1 minute, until cold.
Dip glass rims in syrup, then roll in the sugar rim mix to coat. Strain cocktail into glasses. Enjoy!
