Simple syrups can be as varied and diverse as any other food stuff. By mixing in spices, herbs, fruit—you have instantly created a flavored sweetener. And it's not just for cocktails. Drizzle on a simple butter-rich pound cake for a seasonal flavor boost, pack several bottles onto an ice cream sundae bar for a (gluten-free) birthday celebration, add a splash to whipped cream for sweet spice, stir into your morning coffee or tea, or, yes, use it in all manner of cocktails for a tinge of sweet flavor.
