Apple Wood Smoked Demerara Syrup
Want to take your Old Fashioned to the next level? Why not elevate your traditional sugar cubes to a an applewood smoked demerara simple syrup. Not only does the demerara provide more of a caramel-like flavor than the traditional refined white sugar cubes, the apple wood brings a fruity smokiness to the party. Make this and you’ll never use sugar cubes in your Old Fashioned again.
ingredients:
2 cups Demerara Sugar
2 cups Water
Applewood chips
instructions:
Combine sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Reduce by half and transfer into a 1 quart container. I use a Poly Science smoking gun to smoke apple wood chips and transfer the smoke into the container. Swirl for 20 seconds. Transfer to a smaller vessel if desired. Top with 1oz of bourbon to fortify (this increases the shelf life of your syrup).
