Brown Sugar
Caramel & ToffeeYear-RoundUsed in ~8 drinks
A warm, molasses-kissed sweetness with more depth and mineral character than refined white sugar. Brown sugar and its bartending cousin demerara bring a toasty, almost biscuit-like quality that rounds out spirit-forward cocktails without tasting cloying. It is the preferred sweetener in Old Fashioneds and tiki builds where raw, unrefined sweetness complements aged spirits.
Aroma
Warm, treacly sweetness with a toasted grain quality — like opening a bag of raw demerara, with hints of toffee and damp earth.
