Spicy Simple Syrup

Raised on Tennessee BBQ, spicy drinks lover Jutta Lafley couldn’t find a cocktail syrup that hit her sweet (and spicy) spot, so she experimented until she came up with one herself. Her fragrant, delicious simple syrups are crafted in small batches with fresh produce and herbs, slow-cooked to extract the heat and complexity of the peppers. They’re then poured into beautiful glass bottles you definitely won’t want to hide away in the cupboard. Each makes 10 to 15 drinks, depending on how hot you like yours. Choose Jalapeno Hex or Habanero Basil.

Handmade in Kentucky.
