Demerara sugar is named after its place of origin, the Demerara region in Guyana, South America. The harvesting season spans from mid-October to mid-March. Demerara sugar goes through minimal processing, retaining some of its natural molasses content and giving the sugar its light brown color.
Gum arabic is harvested from Acacia trees in the “gum belt” of sub-Saharan Africa, with Sudan producing 70% of the global supply. The Acacia tree is tapped and the sap is collected, dried, and processed.

Demerara Gum Syrup Recipes
Minimal Process, Maximum Flavor
This incredibly versatile syrup starts with crushing whole sugarcane to extract its golden juice. The sugarcane juice is then slowly evaporated to leave behind demerara sugar, renowned around the world for its rich and complex flavors of molasses, toffee, and caramel.
Unrivaled Sugarcane Richness
This simple syrup delivers natrual sugarcane complexity far beyond mere sweetness, with notes of dark caramel, molasses, and subtle vanilla providing immense versatility.
Sugarcane Complexity
Saturated with raw cane sweetness, Demerara Gum Syrup also delivers mild aromas of toffee and caramel.

I’ve been using the Old Fashioned Syrup for a couple of years now with my Ryes and Bourbons. Great stuff. I added the Blood Orange to give it some more orange-punch. Also great. Then I remembered my favorite restaurant’s bar tender saying something about a “home-made” Demerara syrup. That cocktail - at “Main Street Farmer” in St. Michael, MN, is AWESOME. So I bought one 350 ml bottle. OMG! Guys, gals, if you love your old fashioned and haven’t used the “D-word” - get some. It mellows the drink just enough to make it melt in your mouth. Like you needed another excuse to imbibe, RIGHT?! Get some, be creative, and enjoy your Brown Liquor like you do your Tequila and your vodka. BOOM! Thank you LIBER & Co. for bringing premium cocktail mixes to the general public. I drink at home and never risk the DUI. Be safe, America. The label tells you all you need to know...
Demerara Gum Syrup
I bought this after I watched youtube videos on making Old Fashion cocktails. I had been making them with simple syrup up to this point so I decided to try Demerrara syrup instead. I have to say I am dissapointed. It's not worth the considerable cost upgrade
We always buy the Demerara Gum Syrup on line because it’s not usually available at liquor stores.
Demera Gum Syrup has become my go-to sweetener for an Old Fashioned. The subtle molasses flavor profile is a real crowd-pleaser and also very convenient for mixing quickly. When every detail counts, this a huge step up from simple syrup.
