Turmeric Ginger Simple Syrup
To create a golden milk inspired cocktail, I knew I’d need a strong turmeric element. As many golden milk powders also contain ginger, I opted to make a turmeric ginger simple syrup and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result!
I’ve only made one cocktail with this syrup but I’m curious about pairing it with other spirits. Let me know in the comments if you have thoughts or suggestions. Turmeric ginger cocktails and cocktail ideas:
