Demerara sugar syrup
- Syrups
- Non-alcoholic
Demerara sugar syrup is made by dissolving demerara sugar in hot water; demerara is an amber, partially refined cane sugar that keeps some of its molasses. It is made at 1:1 or, in the richer version, 2:1. Compared with white sugar syrup it tastes warmer, with caramel and molasses notes, and it suits aged rums and whiskeys. In modern recipes it sweetens the Jungle Bird, created in 1973 at the Kuala Lumpur Hilton.
