Instructions

Mix the sugar and water and bring the mixture to a boil. Then allow the mixture to cool, so that it forms a sugary syrup.  Put it in a bottle and store it in the refrigerator, so that it cools even more.

When the mixture has cooled sufficiently, pour 2 1/2 teaspoons (12 1/2 ml) of the syrup, along with all of the other ingredients, into a shaker that has been filled with ice. Shake, then strain the mixture into a wine glass or champagne flute. Serve.
