The New York Sour is a classic, but this particular recipe comes from Kenaniah Bystrom, the bar manager of Essex. To make what is called "rich" simple syrup, combine 2 parts sugar and 1 part water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring regularly, until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, and chill thoroughly before using.
