Cocktails with Sugar cane juice
Sugar cane juice is the raw liquid pressed from crushed sugar cane stalks, sweet and unrefined.
Taste profile
Vegetal and grassy on the nose, with a clean, direct sweetness and a faint mineral, earthy undertone.
How it's used
Contributing sweetness and body at once, it stands in for syrup while adding a fresh grassy note; shaken into a build, it is dosed to sweeten without the concentrated intensity of refined sugar.
Substitutes for Sugar cane juice
A light cane syrup thinned with water approximates its sweetness, though not its fresh vegetal character.
Description
Sugar cane juice comes from mature cane stalks fed through a roller mill, yielding a pale green, cloudy liquid that carries plant fibre and natural sugars in their unprocessed form.
Storage
It ferments and browns rapidly once pressed; refrigerate and use within a day.
