The story
Origin and evolution
Dissolving sugar before service solved the persistent problem of crystals in cold drinks.
The standard equal-parts formula became a universal bar tool because it is easy to make and measure.
Rich syrups and flavored variations now let bartenders tune both sweetness and texture.
