  • 12 oz Cold Simple Syrup Must be chilled
  • 1 oz Lime Juice
  • 2 oz Spirit of Your Choice

Instructions

Notes

Make sure the simple syrup is cold when you put it in the blender, as if it's not it could discolor the syrup.
Also, this recipe makes about 12oz of the syrup. Feel free to double it if you want more.
Refrigerate for up to 3 days, then freeze.
