Powdered sugar

Ultra-fine ground sugar that dissolves almost instantly without heat, making it ideal for cold cocktails where granulated sugar would remain gritty. Used in classic Daiquiris, Mojitos, and Pisco Sours to sweeten without leaving undissolved sugar at the bottom of the glass.

Flavor Profile

Pure, fine sweetness with no aroma and ultra-smooth dissolution. Finer texture than granulated sugar for instant incorporation. Adds clean sweetness and delicate body to cocktails.
