A syrup made from dissolving granulated sugar (sucrose) in water. Regular simple is made by combining 1:1 sugar:water by mass, rich simple is 2:1 sugar:water by mass although only 1.5 times as sweet as regular. We always use 1:1 syrup unless otherwise noted in the recipe itself.
1 sprig
A woody, perennial herb with fragrant, evergreen, needle-like leaves and white, pink, purple, or blue flowers, native to the Mediterranean region. They have a bitter, astringent taste and a characteristic aroma.

If you’re using a sweeter genepi, such as the one produced by Dolin, swap the simple syrup for an extra 0.25 dry vermouth.
