Portland Peppermint Syrup

This is the peppermint syrup that earns its place in your winter rotation. We brew it from real peppermint and spearmint leaves (with a touch of peppermint concentrate for extra punch), so the flavor reads as fresh and herbal, like a peppermint plant rather than a candy cane. The results is a syrup that adds real cool mint depth without veering into toothpaste territory. 

Stir an ounce into a hot mocha for a peppermint mocha that competes with your nearest coffee shop. Splash it into vodka and Bailey's for a peppermint White Russian that drinks like dessert. Add it to hot cocoa for the kid friendly version of the holidays. Mix it with sparkling water for a refreshing peppermint soda that's surprisingly good year round.
