Small Hand Pineapple Gum Syrup
Small Hand Foods Pineapple Gum Syrup is a meticulously crafted bartender essential created by Jennifer Colliau, founder of Small Hand Foods, who began the brand in 2008 while tending bar at San Francisco's legendary Slanted Door. Made by cold-pressing organic fresh pineapple and blending it with gum syrup, this golden amber syrup delivers high viscosity, bright acidity, and an exceptionally rich mouthfeel that transforms any drink it touches. The syrup showcases the commitment to whole, natural ingredients and freedom from additives that defines the Small Hand Foods philosophy—this is cocktail craft in its purest form.
The flavor profile is tropical, vibrant, and intensely pineapple-forward with subtle caramel undertones from the gum base and cane sugar. The natural bright acidity of fresh pressed pineapple creates a beautiful balance that works seamlessly in both tropical and classic cocktails. This is a key ingredient in the San Francisco classic cocktail Pisco Punch, as well as fixes, cobblers, and fizzes of all kinds. The mouth-coating richness provided by the gum arabic transforms simple drinks into sophisticated, textured experiences that feel professional and refined.
Available in 8.5oz bottles, Small Hand Foods Pineapple Gum Syrup remains shelf-stable and cost-effective for home bartenders and professional establishments alike. Whether you're recreating the legendary Pisco Punch, crafting tiki cocktails, or exploring tropical variations on classic drinks, this syrup proves why Small Hand Foods has become the gold standard for craft cocktail syrups. Use it wherever you'd traditionally use simple syrup in drinks calling for pineapple, and experience the difference that real fruit, real craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail can make in every sip.
