This syrup gets it dark color from the natural molasses that remains in the Demerara sugar crystals after minimal processing. With hints of caramel and a velvety texture, Eli Mason’s Demerara Syrup is indispensable in rum cocktails and Tiki drinks and makes a fine counterpoint in recipes that employ bitters. All bottles are glass, 10 fl. Oz. (296ml) with black plastic cap, black matte shrink band, waterproof label (matte finish), UPC, and batch code. Shelf life on all products is 24-36 months.
