pink House Alchemy
We keep a well-stocked bar that includes way too much bourbon and various other things. However, I never considered the unique simple syrups we could use to make fantastic cocktails. I regularly make simple syrup to have on hand for the classic old-fashioned, but that’s about it.
That has changed since tasting pink House Alchemy’s simple syrups. Truthfully, if you don’t need a variety of simple syrups at home, you’ll want the bottles to sit on a shelf as decor…they’re made of glass and are beautiful. The company also makes garnishes, cocktail kits, and bitters.
I received a lavender simple syrup, and hibiscus rose syrup to test out. I was leery initially since I sometimes don’t enjoy floral flavors, but my mind quickly swayed. There is nothing floral-like about the Gimme Some Sugar cocktail:
- 1.5 oz gin or vodka
- .5 oz fresh lemon juice
- .5 oz pH Hibiscus Rose syrup
- Sparkling rosé
Method:
- Rim a coupe glass or champagne flute with pH hibiscus lavender sugar.
- Stir ingredients on ice in a mixing glass, then strain into the prepared glass.
- Top with sparking rosé and garnish with a pineapple flower.
I absolutely love this drink and pink House Alchemy’s Hibiscus Rose Syrup. It is a refreshingly light cocktail with just enough bite and sweetness, and the presentation is gorgeous. I was sent dehydrated pineapple flowers for garnishing; however, I think the dehydrated lemon slices, which pH sells on their site, would work well too.

pink House has many fabulous recipe ideas, including cocktails, mocktails, and more. Their list of syrups is extensive, and the quality is top-notch. All the flavors are created by a team of alchemists working together in a 100-year-old pink house. How charming is that?
Cheers to adding to your home bar collection!
