It’s a new year, and there’s no better time to get back to basics. Making simple syrup may seem daunting, but it isn’t as hard as you might think! Watch for the full story.
One thing that I don’t mention is shelf life. This will last a few weeks in the fridge, but will last longer with the addition of a bit of vodka mixed in; I add 1/4 ounce for every 250ml.

![CAMPARI AND SALT?!—A Rogue Cocktail
This martini isn’t really a martini at all. Brilliant in its simplicity, the Campari Martini marries the immortal, jewel red bitter with that most common of additives—salt.
From Molecular Gastronomy: [Salt] increases the ionic strength of aqueous solutions, making it easier for odorant molecules to separate themselves from food. This is why unsalted soup has no flavor and why adding salt amplifies its odor, which is an important part of flavor.”

I’ve never met Kirk or Maks but hope to someday. Their stance of reimagining the classic cocktail into something bold and adventurous has had an indelible effect on how I approach drink making. Guys, if you’re reading this, thank you!

3oz/90ml Campari
