@@StevetheBartender_ Have you ever tried to make a Pina Colada Syrup? Or at least a Coconut Syrup to help make a Pina Colada?

For the ginger syrup, I use slices of ginger and boil with the sugar water to create the syrup. The slices are candied and make a great sweet and spicy snack, or maybe even a garnish.

As a guy who likes to make drinks for his friends when we party at home, making simple syrup in the microwave is a game changer.

I appreciate how the video provides clear instructions on how to make each syrup from scratch. The step-by-step demonstrations make it easy to follow along, and the ingredients and equipment needed are readily accessible.

This is super helpful! I appreciate that you provide shelf lives for each one!!

My son made strawberry syrup 4 weeks ago and it's still tastes like fresh strawberries and sugar. Delicious. He did it differently though. He took half a jar of fresh chopped up strawberries and poured on enough white sugar to cover them, shook it up and just let it sit. In an hour the sugar was drawing the juice out. We shook it up a couple of times as sugar settled to the bottom and put it in the refrigerator overnight. Next day I shook it up again and a bit later strained out the liquid. It was beautiful bright red, clear syrup. The strawberry pulp was great in yogurt.

2:1 simple syrup is shelf stable btw. Personally I like the extra sweetness as well but if you dont you could just cut it with water when you make drinks

I make all my syrups 2:1 and I highly recommend it. Like you said, you can always water it down after the fact and if you don't run a bar where you're selling cocktails, it's unlikely you'll use all your syrup before it goes bad.

Great video, Steve! Next up make a video about ice management. All cocktails need a huge amounts of good quality ice (large gorgeous cubes) and I think not so many people have the required storage space for it, so how to get so much in case of a party, where to store it to keep it handy, how to calculate the amount of ice to cocktails ratio, can ice to be reused for shaking, or you have to throw it away each time you make a cocktail, does ice in a freezer have a shelf life restrictions, etc.

I freeze my ginger first, as it's much easier to work with when partially thawed. It's like the fibres disappear. OR.....I slice the raw ginger and follow a recipe for Candied Ginger. That way, you are left with a super potent ginger syrup and your ginger slices are ready to be dipped in sugar and dried for the 'candy' part.

Late post, I know..... I´ve been making loads of Penicillins lately and the way I do the syrup is using grated ginger. Just grate the ginger, add it to the water/sugar, boil, take of the heat and let rest for about 20 min. Then just strain it... Works like a charm. :) And as others have pointed out: Add like a tablespoon of vodka when its chilled too make the shelflife longer.
