keep it simple
Bartenders sweeten cocktails with simple syrup to avoid undissolved sugar crystals . Make this sweetener at home by heating equal parts white sugar and water with flavouring agents . Orange syrup can be made by replacing part of the water with orange juice , or let your favourite variety of chile pepper steep in the syrup for 15 minutes for chile syrup used in the El Choco Loco ( p 29 ).

Layers of orange flavour make up this citrusy-sweet drink . Blood orange vodka provides a mellow , sweet base accentuated with an orange-infused syrup . Float a thin slice of orange in the drink for a garnish that imparts a tangy , fresh finish with just a hint of balancing bitterness .
