Gum Syrup

Small Hand Foods, the first craft cocktail syrup company, was created in 2008 by Jennifer Colliau, a former bartender in the Bay Area.

Also known by its French spelling, gomme, gum syrup is a sugar syrup with gum arabic, a resin from the Acacia tree, incorporated into it. Gum syrup adds viscosity, giving a richer mouthfeel and weightier texture to cocktails. Organic cane sugar gives the syrup an amber color and a light molasses flavor. It is best used in aromatic, spirit-forward cocktails
