The Demerara Sugar Syrup extends that legacy into the cocktail-ingredient space, using demerara sugar — a large-grained cane sugar that retains a portion of its natural molasses through minimal refining. Unlike homemade versions that require dissolving sugar over heat and can vary in concentration batch to batch, the Angostura bottled version provides a precise, consistent ratio and does not require refrigeration once sealed, making it a practical choice for both home and professional bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm caramel and toasted sugar rise first, followed by a subtle molasses richness and a faint hint of raw cane earthiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is full-bodied and toffee-forward, moving into a mid-palate of warm molasses with a smooth, slightly sticky mouthfeel.
