Red wine syrup is a rich, ruby-hued mixer made by blending red wine with sugar to create a smooth, aromatic sweetener. This stovetop version preserves the wine’s bold fruit, subtle tannins, and gentle acidity, making it a versatile addition to cocktails—from spirit-forward classics to bright, citrusy sours.
