Ingredients

Sweet Woodruff Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp dried sweet woodruff

Sweet Woodruff Cocktail

  • 1 1/2 oz gin
  • 1/2 oz dry vermouth
  • 1 oz sweet woodruff simple syrup
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice

Instructions

Sweet Woodruff Simple Syrup

  • In a saucepan combine the water and sugar. Place over high heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved. Add the dried woodruff and let simmer for another minute. Remove from the heat, cover, and let steep for 20-30 minutes.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer. The dried woodruff might have small particles that pass through the strainer. If that is the case, then pour the syrup through a coffee filter. This will remove any tiny specks and create a clear syrup.
  • Let cool before using. The syrup will keep for up to a month in the fridge.

Sweet Woodruff Cocktail

  • In a cocktail shaker add the gin, dry vermouth, sweet woodruff syrup, and lemon juice. Add ice, then cover and shake for 10 to 15 seconds. Strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with fresh flowers if desired and enjoy!
