A clear liquid sweetener made by dissolving granulated sugar in water, typically in a 1:1 ratio. It tastes clean and neutral with a light, silky body, dissolving instantly in cold drinks and mixing evenly into batters or sauces. Bartenders and bakers use it to sweeten iced beverages, moisten cakes, and make sorbet bases; it is sold bottled or made fresh at home.\n\nSyrups like this became common in confectionery and pharmacy, then standard in 19th-century bar manuals and modern coffee service. Today it appears across global cocktails and desserts wherever refined sugar and water are readily available.
