As the chill of winter settles in, there’s nothing quite like the comforting warmth of a toasty evening by the fire. Imagine the sweet aroma of toasted marshmallows wafting through the air, beckoning you to recreate that nostalgic campfire experience in your own kitchen. This Toasted Marshmallow Simple Syrup recipe is the perfect addition to your winter repertoire, transforming ordinary drinks into delightful concoctions reminiscent of the beloved s’mores.

To create this indulgent syrup, begin by gently toasting marshmallows over an open flame or under the grill until they achieve a golden-brown hue. Combine the toasted marshmallows with equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely, resulting in a luscious, sweet syrup infused with that quintessential toasted flavour. This syrup can be drizzled over pancakes, stirred into hot chocolate, or even used to elevate cocktails for a luxurious winter treat. Embrace the essence of warm fires and late-night conversations with each delightful sip, and let the spirit of s’mores warm your heart all season long.

Indulge in a delightful twist on the classic Old Fashioned with a Toasted Marshmallow Old Fashioned, a recipe that captures the essence of Florida's vibrant, sun-soaked charm, affectionately dubbed "Florida Dancing Juice."

To begin, gather your ingredients: a smooth bourbon, aromatic bitters, and a touch of simple syrup, expertly infused with the essence of toasted marshmallow. Start by gently toasting your marshmallows over an open flame until they achieve a perfect golden hue, allowing their smoky sweetness to permeate the air.

In a mixing glass, combine two ounces of your chosen bourbon with a dash of aromatic bitters and half an ounce of the toasted marshmallow syrup. Add ice and stir gently, allowing the flavours to meld beautifully. Strain the mixture into a chilled rocks glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist and a perfectly toasted marshmallow on a skewer for that whimsical touch.

This playful rendition of the Old Fashioned celebrates the laid-back yet lively spirit of Florida, inviting you to linger and savour every sip as the sun sets and the evening comes alive. Cheers to a cocktail that dances on the palate and warms the soul!
