Most of our readers know, but I know that many folks don't! Simple syrup is basically a plain sugar syrup -- usually equal parts granulated white sugar and water by volume (you'll sometimes see this written as 1:1 simple syrup), but sometimes more or less sugar, depending on the application. To make it, simply measure equal quantities of sugar and water into a saucepan and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool to room temperature before using in your favorite drinks. It keeps pretty well in the freezer. Hi Steve –

No garnish, just float a layer of red wine on top of the sour in a cocktail glass. Visually stunning with an adult Sangria flavor profile. A slight variation is the Greenwich Sour.
