Notes

• Gin - Barrel-aged gin is gin that has been aged in wine or bourbon barrels, giving it many of the aged spirit flavors that is not normally associated with gin, like vanilla, caramel, oak and smoke. It also takes on a darker hue.
• Simple syrup consists of equal amounts of white sugar and water. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened. Cool before using.
