Monin Gomme Syrup
Gomme syrup is one of the old secrets of a good bar. It's sugar syrup with a little gum arabic dissolved into it, and that gum does something plain simple syrup can't — it gives a drink a silky, almost viscous texture as well as sweetness. Monin, making syrups in France since 1912, do a proper version.
Reach for it in the classics. A splash rounds out an Old Fashioned, softens the bite in a gin fizz or a whisky sour, and gives spirit-forward drinks a smoother, more luxurious feel across the palate. It's the small detail that separates a home cocktail from one that tastes like it came from a serious bar.
Because it's already liquid and stable, it blends cleanly into cold drinks with no grittiness.
How to Use
Use it anywhere a recipe calls for sugar or simple syrup — start with 10–15ml and adjust. Store in a cool cupboard, and keep it in the fridge once opened.
