Gomme (Simple) Syrup
Gomme Arabic, also known as Gum Acacia, or any combination of those four words, is a natural gum from the Acacia tree. It is used in many classic cocktails to provide a silky mouthfeel.
Swap Gomme Syrup anywhere Simple Sugar Syrup is used in a cocktail or a non-alcoholic drink to create a silky texture. It works best in spirit-forward drinks, not so much in citrus or juice-based drinks. Try using it in an Old Fashioned, a Harvard or the Improved Whisky Cocktail.
We can also add Gomme to many existing syrups, such as Pineapple or Raspberry. If you'd like us to Gomme up a product, reach out to us, as some work better than others.
Made using Gomme Arabic and 100% Australian cane sugar. We create the syrup to be at a 65° Brix for consistancy and ease of use. We also offer the Gomme Arabic powder seperatly, for those wishing to make it themselves.
We don’t use any preservatives or additives in our products, and although they should last a very long time, they’re best used within two weeks. Keep them refrigerated for optimal quality. Discard them if they turn cloudy, change colour, or begin to ferment.
Packaging
Sold in a 750ml clear glass wine bottle with minimal labels.
We try and keep our labels to the bare necessities so your product looks something made in house and not recognisable by customers.
We also try and reuse bottles whenever we can, after a thorough cleaning first! We will happily take back any bottles and accept any clear, screw-cap style wine bottles you have spare. It helps keep our prices low and it does that little bit for the environment. That’s a win-win.
Seasonal Differences
We do not use artificial colouring, so colours and flavours may change slightly with the seasons. We do our best to keep it looking consistent but nature has a way of doing what it wants.
Storage and Use
All of our syrups are small batch, made to order and preservative free, so they are best kept refrigerated and ideally used within two weeks for the best flavour and quality. Also check the best before date before use.
