For Diabetics who have given up their daiquiris because of the sugar counts, the recipe for the simple syrup is
1 cup distilled Water
1/2 cup of your sweetener of choice
And then (because this stuff is insanely sweet)
Use 1/2 cup of it instead of the full cup of simple syrup.
I am just now trying this recipe, and all of my stuff melted, but! I had to put the full cup in and let's just say 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Emma
If 1 cup of the diabetic-friendly simple syrup is too much, you can always try 2/3 cup or another smaller amount. This recipe is only guaranteed to work when it's made exactly as written in the recipe card, but feel free to make variations if you wish. Thanks for sharing your diabetic tips, Kirby!
