Fruit syrups

Citrus Syrup

A lime-led sour base for long drinks and wine or whisky mixes.

This is the sour side of the bar in a bottle. On NK Menon's old recipe pages, the citrus mixer stands in for fresh lime juice or lime extract, so it does the same job: brightens and balances sweeter ingredients. One of the original three Two Minute Cocktail flavours.

Range: Fruit syrups (Two Minute Cocktail)
Pack sizes: 1-litre café bottle · 5-litre pack for hotels, restaurants and caterers

Bartender's noteMenon built this for guests who don't usually drink wine: citrus and ginger take the edge off the tannin. His Red Daddy uses the same syrup with malt whisky.

Zero-proofReplace the red wine with 120 ml chilled unsweetened red grape juice.
