Sourcing the best ingredients possible is paramount to Liber & Co. in matching the quality of the world's top bars. From world-renowned Texas grapefruit orchards to a sustainable Peruvian ginger farm, the brand seeks out the best suppliers and fosters great relationships with them. This obsession over raw ingredients is brought home to their custom facility in Austin, TX, where they turn real ingredients into the best-tasting, most authentic syrups possible.

Liber & Co.'s Classic Gum Syrup is the superior simple syrup, the pre-Prohibition standard bar syrup called for in hundreds of classic cocktails. Made with pure cane sugar combined with all-natural gum arabic from the Acacia tree, it creates a unique richness and viscosity that is perfect in spirit-forward cocktails like the Old Fashioned and Sazerac. Crafted in Austin, TX, a 17 oz bottle makes 35-60 cocktails.

The ingredients in the Classic Gum Syrup are simple: cane sugar, filtered water, gum arabic, citric acid, and benzoic acid.

What makes this a superior simple syrup? The key is the inclusion of gum arabic, an all-natural resin from the African acacia tree. This gives the syrup a unique richness and viscosity that is ideal for use in classic cocktails.

The versatility of Liber & Co.'s Classic Gum Syrup makes it a straightforward utility for any bar. Its clean cane sugar flavor profile makes it suitable for any drink that calls for sugar, and its superior texture earns it a spot on your bar.
