Step 2

After 5 days, prepare the syrup, simply add the sugar and water to a saucepan over low heat, then warm it up while stirring continuously until the sugar has dissolved, and turn off the heat.

Step 3

Let the syrup cool down for at least 2 hours, then once cool, strain the citrus alcohol over the syrup, and stir them well until combined. Taste and adjust the flavor by adding more water or sugar, then transfer them into jars or bottles and seal them. Drink and enjoy!
