Liber & Co. Classic Gum Syrup

9.5oz or 17oz & 0 Proof

Liber & Co. Classic Gum Syrup is a Syrup from the Liber & Co. Cocktail Syrups brand hailing from America.

What is Liber & Co. Classic Gum Syrup?

Liber & Co. Classic Gum Syrup elevates cocktails with its silky texture and rich mouthfeel, thanks to the addition of gum arabic from African acacia trees. Interestingly, this natural resin was used by ancient Egyptians as an adhesive in the mummification process, showcasing its versatility beyond the world of mixology.

Why do we love Liber & Co. Classic Gum Syrup?

Liber & Co. Classic Gum Syrup elevates cocktails with its silky texture and superior mouthfeel, thanks to the addition of gum arabic from African acacia trees - a pre-Prohibition technique favored by top bartenders that sets it apart from standard simple syrups.

How do you drink Liber & Co. Classic Gum Syrup?

Classic Gum Syrup shines in stirred whiskey and brandy cocktails, adding a luxurious silkiness and clean sweetness that enhances rather than overwhelms the base spirit; it's particularly delightful in cold-weather sippers paired with rich, savory dishes like roasted meats or hearty stews.

Nose: Sweet and clean with a subtle hint of vanilla. The aroma is reminiscent of freshly spun cotton candy, with a faint whisper of caramel.

Palate: Silky smooth texture coats the tongue. Pure cane sugar sweetness dominates, balanced by a subtle complexity from the gum arabic. Notes of honey and a touch of molasses emerge as it warms in the mouth.

Finish: Long and lingering. The sweetness fades gradually, leaving a pleasant, velvety mouthfeel. A barely perceptible hint of citrus from the citric acid provides a clean, refreshing end note.

Liber & Co. crafts their Classic Gum Syrup by carefully dissolving high-quality cane sugar and gum arabic in filtered water, then adding a touch of citric acid to balance the sweetness and enhance shelf stability. The gum arabic, sourced from African acacia trees, is the key ingredient that gives this syrup its signature silky texture and emulsifying properties, setting it apart from standard simple syrups.

  • Gum syrup was a secret weapon of pre-Prohibition bartenders, who discovered that adding gum arabic from African acacia trees created silkier, more luxurious cocktails. Liber & Co. has revived this lost art for modern mixologists.
  • The addition of gum arabic in this syrup actually helps prevent sugar crystallization, allowing you to create perfectly clear, ice-cold cocktails without any grainy texture - a game-changer for drinks like the Old Fashioned.
  • While most simple syrups last only a few weeks, Liber & Co.'s Classic Gum Syrup has an impressive 36-month shelf life before opening, thanks to its unique formulation. Even after opening, it stays fresh for a full year when refrigerated.
  • Main Ingredient: Gum Arabic
