Well, once again it’s the anniversary of my first shift behind the bar in what has become a super rewarding career. This is year 26! Holy crap! Two years ago I decided to celebrate by sharing my chocolate chip cookie recipe, which brought me a ton of joy seeing you all making those at home during this awful pandemic. This year I’ve decided that I’m going to start celebrating every year by sharing other things that I hope will be helpful. My desire is that I can turn this into a nice little tradition of sharing something special to me every year, since sharing information has been the cornerstone of my career. Today I’m sharing a new spreadsheet (you know I love a spreadsheet) to help you turn literally any liquid into a perfectly calculated syrup for your cocktails. After struggling for years with how to make this an easy, precise, and universal process, I finally created a calculator that will allow you to make a perfect 1:1 or 2:1 syrup from any type of juice. Want a perfect 1:1 apple cider syrup? How about a pitch-perfect 2:1 raspberry syrup? This new spreadsheet (with the help of a digital scale and an inexpensive refractometer) will get you what you need. The post is now live on my website and the link is in my profile! I hope it’s helpful, I’ll be celebrating my 26th anniversary by making a 2:1 pineapple syrup for some drink development. #anniversary #spreadsheets #simplesyrup #syrup #googlesheets #cocktails #microsoftexcel #mixology
