Liber & Co. Classic Gum Syrup is a bar-quality simple syrup blended with pure cane sugar and natural gum arabic to add authentic pre-Prohibition texture and viscosity to cocktails and beverages.
Made in Austin, TX, this 12.7 oz bottle of gum syrup recreates the syrup professional bartenders used for generations: a saturated cane-sugar base softened with Acacia-derived gum arabic for a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. It’s designed to replace plain simple syrup when a cocktail recipe calls for superior texture, helping spirits marry with mixers and delivering a richer finish in classics like the Old Fashioned, Sazerac, and Mint Julep.
Why use gum syrup instead of plain simple syrup?
Gum syrup contains natural gum arabic, which increases viscosity and creates a rounded, silky texture that ordinary 1:1 simple syrup cannot replicate. That slip and body makes bitters and high-proof spirits sit harmoniously on the palate rather than tasting thin.
- Adds velvety texture and mouth-coating body
- Helps flavors integrate without diluting brightness
- Works in hot and cold beverages without separating
How much syrup do I need per drink and how many cocktails does a bottle make?
Each 12.7 oz bottle is fully saturated, so you use less than you would with plain simple syrup. Typical classic cocktails call for roughly 0.25–0.75 oz of gum syrup, meaning one bottle yields about 17–25 drinks depending on recipe proportions.
- Old Fashioned: ~0.25–0.5 oz per cocktail
- Sazerac: ~0.25–0.5 oz per cocktail
- Smaller non-alcoholic drinks: use conservatively for maximum yield
What recipes and uses benefit most from this gum syrup?
Recipes that rely on mouthfeel, balance, and a smooth finish are the best fits. Classic cocktails, stirred spirit-forward drinks, shaken sour formats, and specialty coffee drinks all gain improved body and integration when gum syrup is used in place of plain sugar syrup.
- Old Fashioned, Sazerac, Mint Julep, and Daiquiri
- Coffee and tea-based beverages for a richer, even sweetness
- Mocktails and punches where texture elevates perception
How is this syrup made and what are the ingredients?
