How to make syrups, liqueurs, garnishes at home
Today I'm making a homemade BANANA LIQUEUR, comparing it with store-bought liqueur and making an awesome cocktail Psycho Killer with it.
How to make just about ANY syrup you might need for cocktails: Simple syrup, Honey syrup, Grenadine, Cream of Coconut, Orgeat, Cinnamon, Ginger, Gomme etc.
Cocktail cherries (aka Maraschino cherries) are a classic garnish for cocktails and desserts, but what is sold in stores is usually soaked in various chemicals and can't even be called a cherry. I made Maraschino cherries at home, and the recipe turned out to be obscenely simple.
I’m making Creme de cassis at home made from fresh blackcurrants grown by my mom. A simple recipe for blackcurrant liqueur and tasting the result in El Diablo cocktail.
