We love the simplicity and flexibility of sours, the family of cocktails that combines a base spirit (literally anything) with fresh citrus like lemon and/or lime, and a sweet element, often simple syrup. In this case, we use John deBary’s Super Summer Fruit Syrup, a bright and glorious combination of peak summer fruit like peaches and mangoes, infused with chamomile, ginger, and turmeric. It provides the sweetness that works alongside a base spirit and citrus juice to create a wonderfully balanced summer sipper.

For more ways to use deBary’s fruit syrup, try his Garden Party Super Punch or Peach and Mango Spritzer
