-
Step 1.
Combine the sugar and corn syrup in a 2-quart saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring regularly, until the sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes; the mixture should look clear rather than grainy.
-
Step 2.
Once the sugar has dissolved, carefully add the vodka and stir well to incorporate. The mixture may bubble slightly.
-
Step 3.
Remove the pan from the heat and cover it tightly with a lid. Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature; this may take about 30 minutes to an hour.
-
Step 4.
After the mixture has cooled, stir in the peppermint extract. Pour the mixture into a sealable bottle, using a funnel if needed, and seal tightly.
