Spring, Spring, Spring. What does it make you think of?? For me – lemons come to mind when I think of spring. That gorgeous yellow- that fresh flavor. That zing! It’s that time – so I decided to make up some Simple Lemon Syrup to keep on hand. It’s great for mixed drinks like a Lemon Drop Martini or just mixed in some iced tea. It can also be used in recipes for baked goods or really anything you would want to add a little sweet lemon flavor to. I love this syrup for it’s versatility & it’s incredibly fresh lemon flavor. It’s something that I will make again & again all through summer. Definitely a staple in my fridge during the warmer months.
Love that soft yellow color. Makes me smile.
This really is super yummy mixed in to so many things.

No- this is a lemon flavored simple syrup- mainly used for mixed drinks. I wouldn’t recommend drinking this straight.

The syrup sounds delightful but the container it is in is delightful too! Where did you get it?

Oh, I think I may have picked it up at a craft store, but that was at least 6-7 years ago. I found this one that is really similar https://amzn.to/2TfhfRg. But here are some others I found that are super cute too that you might like. https://amzn.to/3a4GBar https://amzn.to/2sk291I https://amzn.to/2NoN5Hr https://amzn.to/30opEn2 https://amzn.to/2t22WF3 https://amzn.to/2soJqSO
