Gris Gris Cocktail Magic
Cincinnati, OH
Created by the daughter of a New Orleans native who happens to be a hot sauce junkie, this small batch simple syrup is a nod to an ancient Creole tradition. In fact, the phrase “Gris Gris” is actually an ancient spell that can either be used for evil or good. Needless to say, only tasty things are coming your way with these punchy cocktail mixers.

A big surprise!
We've have had our bottle of Gris Gris Hot Pepper Simple Syrup a little over a week now and it's almost half gone! The drink recipe that came with the syrup, called the Ya Ya, was made and served at a party and everyone loved it. Fair warning, there is a considerable amount of heat to the syrup initially but it dissipates from the tongue quickly and what's left is the flavor of jalapeno with just a tiny bit of heat. The Ya Ya is my new favorite drink, so much so that we will order several more bottles for summertime cocktails. I also plan on trying it in a jalapeno lemon flavored macaron with a mascarpone buttercream frosting. Yummmmm
