This is a superior simple syrup, a traditional 1:1 ratio plus the added benefit of gum arabic. Gum arabic is a natural gum derived from tree sap in the middle east and africa. The gum gives our syrup a silky, full bodied mouth feel enhancing the texture of any cocktail without over sweetening. Use House Made's Original Cocktail syrup in any cocktail recipe that calls for sugar or simple syrup.
