The Angostura brand has entered the premium cocktail syrup market with two new expressions: a demerara sugar syrup and a spicy honey syrup.
Dating back to 1824 and better known for its signature bitters, the brand says it now hopes to expand into a 'broader role' in cocktail creation through the syrups.
Two years after it celebrated its 200th anniversary, the brand said the expansion reflects growing demand for high-quality cocktail ingredients from both bartenders and cocktail lovers.
The Angostura Demerara Sugar Syrup is said to be a dark, full-bodied syrup layered with notes of ‘toasted molasses, warm caramel, and a hint of smoke’. It has reportedly been designed to complement aged spirits such as Bourbon, rye whiskey, and dark rum.
On the other hand, the Spicy Honey Syrup should present a 'bold balance of smooth honey sweetness and lingering chilli heat’. The product is said to go well in Tequila, mezcal, or whiskey-based cocktails.
The new syrups are available at select US retailers with an MSRP of US$11.99 for a 375ml bottle.
