Liber & Co. Classic Gum Syrup 25.4 oz — Pure Cane Sugar Gum Arabic for Silky Cocktails & Coffee

Liber & Co. Classic Gum Syrup is a pre-Prohibition style simple syrup made with pure cane sugar and natural gum arabic to deliver a silky texture and richer mouthfeel than ordinary simple syrup.

Built from authentic ingredients and long-standing bartending tradition, this 25.4 oz bottle of gum syrup recreates the smooth, rounded balance that cocktail manuals originally intended. Unlike plain syrup, the added gum arabic (from acacia trees) increases viscosity and gives drinks a creamy, clingy finish that lifts spirits, stirred cocktails, and coffee beverages. Whether you're updating recipes from classic cocktail books or simply want a superior sweetener for highballs and mocktails, this product is formulated to be both shelf-stable and bar-ready.

How does gum syrup change the texture of cocktails?

Gum syrup adds body and a velvety mouthfeel that regular simple syrup cannot match. The natural gum arabic slightly thickens the liquid, helping flavors blend more smoothly and cling to the palate for a longer finish.

• Creates a richer viscosity without heaviness
• Promotes even integration of sweetener and spirit
• Enhances the creaminess of stirred cocktails like Old Fashioneds
• Provides a lasting finish that balances citrus and bitters

Which cocktails and recipes benefit most from a gum syrup?

Classic stirred and shaken cocktails that originally called for gum syrup will show the clearest improvement, but it also upgrades many other drinks. Use it wherever you want more body, smoother balance, or a bar-standard finish.

• Old Fashioned, Sazerac, Mint Julep, and Daiquiri recipes
• Handcrafted coffee drinks, iced espresso, and sweet cocktails
• Highballs and spirit-forward serves that need cling and integration
• Mocktails and culinary applications that benefit from roundness

How much gum syrup should I use and how many drinks does one bottle make?

This Liber & Co. bottle is concentrated and fully saturated, so small measures go a long way. Typical recipes call for half-ounce to one-ounce portions depending on sweetness desired.

• 25.4 oz bottle yields roughly 24–50 cocktails depending on pour size
• Use 1/4–1/2 oz for lightly sweetened drinks, 1/2–1 oz for classic recipes
• A little syrup can replace more sugar or plain syrup while improving texture
• Store refrigerated after opening for best quality
