A must-have for the liquor cabinet, grenadine syrup adds a reddish/pink color to cocktails while the sweet and fruity flavors help to mellow the bite of Bourbon or other strong spirits. A popular sweetener for many centuries, the origins of grenadine syrup has its roots in the Middle East where it was originally made with pomegranate juice. Today, grenadine gets its flavor from a blend of orange, raspberry, and lemon sweetened with sugar.

Also known as confectioner’s syrup, glucose syrup is often used in part with regular sugar because its high maltose content helps to soften the texture of candy and other desserts. It also adds volume as a thickening agent while also acting as a humectant, which helps food maintains its freshness and flavor.

One of the most popular condiments for the breakfast table, pancake syrup adds the finishing touches to a stack of classic hotcakes. Along with melted butter, maple flavored pancake syrup soaks into fluffy pancakes, waffles, and French toast, giving you a sweet and tender bite.

Made with all natural ingredients, hibiscus flowers in syrup are an edible delicacy sweetened with cane sugar. The tangy mixed berry flavor of the syrup and the lovely red hibiscus petals add a special touch to fancy cocktails, desserts, and other culinary creations. Although it isn’t a native plant, the wild hibiscus flower has grown in Australia for thousands of years, and historians believe that it was first introduced by Indonesian fisherman. Today, wild hibiscus flowers are sustainably harvested on the edges of the Gondwana rainforest.

How are various syrups used?
