Simple Syrup is an ingredient used in many Cocktails. The name comes from the fact that the ingredients are very simple. The recipe above is a 2:1 Simple Syrup because it's more shelf stable than a 1:1 Simple Syrup. Of course that also means it's more sweet so adjust your cocktail recipes accordingly.
