Cocktail

Stevia Simple Syrup (makes ~4 oz)

Method

Stevia Simple Syrup

1

Make syrup

Combine 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon granulated stevia in a small saucepan. Warm gently over low heat, stirring constantly until the stevia dissolves (this takes only a minute or two). Do not boil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to a small jar and refrigerate. Yields roughly 3–4 ounces; use 1/2 ounce per cocktail.

Assemble Tiny Collins

2

Chill: If desired, chill a Collins glass (tall highball) in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink, then discard the water.

3

Build: Fill a Collins or highball glass with fresh ice (about 1 cup). Pour in 2 oz dry gin, 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice, and 1/2 oz stevia simple syrup directly over the ice.

4

Top: Gently stir the mixture once or twice with a bar spoon to combine and slightly chill. Top with about 2 oz (or to taste) club soda, pouring slowly to preserve effervescence.

5

Adjust: Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity — add an extra 1/4 oz stevia syrup if you prefer sweeter, or another 1/4 oz lemon juice if you prefer brighter tartness.

6

Garnish & serve: Garnish with a lemon wheel or a long lemon twist on the rim. Serve with a straw if desired.
