5BAR Syrups

Hello friends and fellow sweet-toothers

The name 5BAR comes from a few concepts, one of them is to balance flavors together. Not too sweet, not too sour, and still tasting the baseline spirit.

Levi the owner here, hi, I like craft cocktails. Our team started making our own batch syrups and I was thinking it would be pretty neat to sell them for y’all to use at home/parties. 

• Lime Oleo Saccharum Syrup

• Lemon Oleo Saccharum Syrup

• Orange Oleo Saccharum Syrup

• Ginger Basil Rich Syrup

• Mo-Cheat-O Syrup

What is the Oleo Saccharum process, and why should I care?

Hey, you don’t have to, but it is *more* than just a fancy word, though. Each of these flavored syrups are made from the real ingredient.

We take our spent food products, which most bars would throw away, and turn them into syrups. For the citrus, we fresh squeeze and juice them. Then we take those spent/juiced fruit skins, and let them rest in sugar (and a little salt) for 2 days, on the 3rd day we add 20% by volume water, let that all soak up. Then on the 4th day we take that batch, drop it all into a thin metal pan (yes, the thinness matters), gently leaving it on the stove top to naturally heat up and melt down all the sugars and water content in the citrus, into a syrup. After 4 hours, we stir vigorously to mix

From here we have a real live. Now why this is so great is that if we are making a drink that has sugar and wine in it, we can use this easy syrup. By using the lime syrup, we can reduce the fresh lime juice we are using in the drink. This seems a little bit of money, a little bit of labor, which is nice, it also enhances the total lime flavor, because now you are getting a more complete expression of lying both in the fresh juice, and the rested syrup that has taken days to extract. the drink itself will be slightly more concentrated. So in a Mojito, if the lime syrup is used, the drink has more concentrated flavor and concentrated liquid, so topping it with soda has more carbonation her fluid ounce. The end result is a Mojito with a more complete I’m flavor for effervescence from the soda water.
