Simple syrup made with coarse sugar (aka turbinado sugar or raw sugar) has a deep molasses flavor. It's great in cocktails made with rum!

Recipe Notes
Coarse sugar (aka turbinado sugar or raw sugar) can replaced with demerara sugar (similar to turbinado but with a more pronounced molasses flavor) or brown sugar if you prefer.A 1 : 1 recipe ratio of equal parts water and sugar is standard for simple syrups, but it's not set in stone. Like with chocolate ganache, you can alter the ratio to make it heavier (more sugar) or lighter (more water) as required by a recipe or for personal taste.
