Bar Under the Stairs is a Channel all about teaching you how to make great cocktails at home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Citrus Cordial recipe is incredibly versatile, easy to make, and just plain tasty. It's perfect for any cocktail that calls for citrus and simple syrup, and it can and a surprising flavor to more spirit-forward drinks. I love using this for a Gimlet, Cosmo, Whiskey Sour, or Mezcal Old fashioned. It also makes a killer lemonade!

Recipe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 Cups Granulated Sugar
2 Cups Boiling Water
1 Zest of Orange
2 Zest of Lemons
4 Zest of Limes

Pour the sugar into a mixing bowl
Using a micro plane, remove all of the outer skin, aka zest, from the citrus. Be careful not to remove too much of the pith. I suggest zesting directly into your sugar.
Mix the Citrus zest and the sugar
Add 2 cups of boiling hot water and stir until sugar dissolves
Let steep for 5 to 45 minutes depending on the desired intensity
Strain out the zest
Bottle and store in the Fridge
