Ingredient
Cane Sugar
A natural sweetener derived from the sugarcane plant, cane sugar has a pure, sweet flavor profile. It serves as a fundamental sweetening agent in cocktails, balancing acidity and enhancing other flavors. Commonly used in mojitos and daiquiris, it can be dissolved as simple syrup or granulated to create texture in drinks.
Substitutes
- Brown Sugar— Similar sweetness with a slight molasses flavor, can be swapped 1:1 in most recipes.
- Sugar— Interchangeable with granulated sugar, same sweetness and uses.
- Sugar Cube— Virtually interchangeable; same sweetness level and dissolves similarly.
