Home/syrup starter guide

the ratio

Every HipStirs drink starts the same way. Pour your spirit, add the syrup and a squeeze of citrus, then shake or stir. The syrup carries the flavor, the sweetness and the balance, so there is nothing to muddle, measure twice, or guess at.

1 to 2 ozspiritGin, vodka, bourbon, tequila, rum. Whatever the recipe calls for.
1 to 2 ozHipStirs syrupToo sweet, not sweet enough? Add or subtract. This is your drink.

Going spirit-free? Use 4 to 6 oz of a base liquid in place of the spirit and keep the syrup the same. A bottle of 8 oz makes 4 to 8 drinks, depending on how you pour.

Stir and sip. Want some extra flair? Complement with a garnished rim, sliced fruit, citrus, or herbs.
