Gomme Syrup is a classic drink sweetener used in many traditional cocktails. Similar to Simple Syrup, Gomme Syrup has the highest sugar to water ratio possible with the addition of the emulsifier Gum Arabic. The advantage of using Gomme Syrup is that it adds a silky texture and softens the flavor of many alcohol-heavy cocktails.
