I like the combination of lemon, orange, and grapefruit together, but if you don’t have all three, substitute a bit more of the other. Note that a syrup made entirely of orange tends to be too sweet and so will need some sort of acidity to perk it up—add a splash of champagne vinegar to balance.
Ingredients
1 1½ oz 45 ml 1
Method
Peel the zest from the fruit in wide strips using a vegetable peeler, then combine the zest with the simple syrup in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the syrup reduces by 20 percent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain the zest out and store the syrup in a jar in the fridge for months.
