Sugar syrup

Sugar syrup is often used to make cocktails because of the ease of mixing with other liquids and because this type of syrup does not affect the color of the main course. Syrup can be prepared at home. Canned syrup can have a different degree of strength, which depends on the method of canning. In the finished product, the percentage of sugar should not be less than 70% ^[2] .
