Simon, would you happen to have a recipe to share for a fresh raspberry syrup that would work at this 15ml quantity?

I'm prepping for a 200 person, 3 hour event for Mothers Day and want this to be the star. It's just me so I want to make a syrup for speed but am unsure the right proportions.

Three days in a row now my delivery was off so not much time for me to dial the recipe in, but its for sure coming tomorrow.

My plan is 2:1:1 , raspberry/sugar/water. I'll make simple, macerate the berries, blend the berries in, let it sit overnight and pass it through a sieve morning of.

Any helpful info or guidance would be greatly appreciated. (As I am for all the other fantastic info I've leanred from you)

Rather than reducing the other ingredients, it's easier to increase the volume of the raspberry syrup. Using your 2:1:1 recipe, you'll need 50% more raspberry syrup, i.e. 22.5ml (3/4oz) instead of 15ml (1/2oz). Comparing the finished cocktail to one made with a commercial syrup such as Monin, you'll find the vibrant colour from the homemade syrup more striking than the difference in flavour. I hope all the mums approve.
