Combine 1 cup water and the sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, and stir to dissolve any remaining sugar granules.
Cool completely before using (about 30 minutes). Simple syrup will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.
Professional bartender here — if using exclusively for cocktails (or just if you don't mind) add a capful of natural grain spirit (vodka) to keep indefinitely in the fridge.
For great mojitos at the drop of a lime slice, pack a mason jar moderately tightly with mint leaves and stems that you have chopped roughly with a pair of scissors. Fill the jar with the simmering simple syrup and cap tightly. This is shelf stable until you open it. Strain at that point and keep in the fridge. Yummy cocktails without leaves in your teeth.
Pour one cup of boiling water into a large (32oz) Pyrex measuring cup, add the cup of sugar, stir until dissolved, let cool. No need to do this in a pan on the stove.
