Sugar syrup

A liquid sweetener made by dissolving sugar in water (1:1 or 2:1 ratio), creating a smooth, easy-to-blend sweetener without granular texture. Sugar syrup (simple syrup) is the most fundamental cocktail sweetener, used in Daiquiris, Whiskey Sours, and virtually every drink requiring sweetness.

Flavor Profile
