Liber & Co. - Classic Gum Syrup

Gum Syrup has long been a staple ingredient in the world’s best cocktail bars. 

Gum syrup is a simple syrup combined with gum arabic, an all-natural emulsifier derived from African Acacia trees. 

The addition of gum arabic lends the syrup a silky and more luxuriant mouthfeel when compared to a common simple syrup. It is a superior sweetener with incredible versatility.
