Making cocktails is a great excuse to get creative with flavours. Whether you are putting your own spin on a classic or conjuring up something entirely new, you are spoilt for choice with the many different combinations you can try out.

As well as keeping a good selection of spirits on hand to get your drinks started it is also fun to have a few extras in your drinks cabinet to make even the simplest drink that little bit special. Flavoured syrups are a perfect way of imparting flavour and colour without adding extra booze, and at the moment there are just so many to choose from.

As well as the standard fruity options like raspberry and passionfruit there are also the likes of violet, bubblegum and even chai tea to choose from. These non alcoholic syrups can be great for mixing up a mocktail or if you simply don’t fancy making your drink too boozy. These syrups are big on flavour so just a small measure is enough to make your drinks taste great.

Here at The Drinks Basket we have a great range of both traditional and unusual syrups to try out. Dive in and get creating!
