Notes

You can use store bought simple syrup or you can make your own:
In a small saucepan combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water, heat and bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. For a thicker simple syrup you can use 2 cups of sugar to 1 cup of water.
Let the syrup cool down before using it. Keep refrigerated and use as needed – can be used for cocktails, mocktails, lemonade, etc.
