Small Hands Foods Gum Syrup

Gum syrup — also known by its French name, gomme — is one of the oldest and most important cocktail ingredients that modern bartending largely forgot. Small Hand Foods brought it back, and serious cocktail bars haven't looked back since. Gum syrup is a simple syrup with gum arabic incorporated into it — a resin from the Acacia tree that fell out of favor with bartenders because it is difficult to make and a straight simple syrup is far easier and cheaper. But the difference is profound. Where simple syrup adds only sweetness, gum syrup adds viscosity as well, giving a richer mouthfeel and weightier texture to cocktails. Small Hand Foods' version uses organic cane sugar, giving it an amber color and a light molasses flavor, with organic gum arabic and organic lemon juice rounding out the ingredient list. The standard gum syrup has a rich caramel character that translates beautifully into your drink. Drop it into an Old Fashioned, Sazerac, or Mint Julep and feel the difference immediately.
