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.

The Superior Simple Syrup
Top bartenders have preferred to add gum arabic, an all-natural resin from the African acacia tree, to simple syrup since pre-prohibition. Along with its natural emulsification properties, gum arabic adds a distinctly rich and velvety texture to drinks of all kinds.
The Bartender’s Secret
Classic Gum Syrup is perhaps the most versatile ingredient in the bar. Functionally a rich (2:1) simple syrup, the enhancements of gum arabic are powerful and offer a touch of luxury in countless drinks. Rich, clean cane sugar and silky smooth, velvety texture are the hallmarks of this syrup.
