Contained in the recent reprint of Dale DeGroff's Craft of the Cocktail is a recipe for triple syrup, a modifier created by DeGroff to solve the problem of the Boring Sweetener. This is my interpretation of it. In the video I talk about a number of things, and here's all the info related to those.

Triple Syrup:
Four parts 1:1 simple syrup
Two parts 1:1 agave syrup
One part 1:1 honey syrup

My adaptation:
Four parts 1:1 simple syrup
Two parts 1:1 agave syrup
One part 3:1 honey syrup

Bee's Knees
2oz/60ml London dry gin
.75oz/20ml lemon
.75oz/20ml honey syrup (2:1)

Mahogany Hall Gimlet
1.5oz/45ml London dry gin
.5oz/15ml lime juice
.5oz/15ml grapefruit juice
.5oz/15ml triple syrup
2 dashes Dale DeGroff's Pimento Bitters

Angostura is an ok substitute, but Mr. DeGroff's bitters are widely available online, so pick some up if you're able. And if you can help it, buy them from a smaller online retailer. Bezos has enough money.
