Ingredient
Raw or Turbinado Sugar
This minimally processed sugar retains some molasses, contributing a rich, caramel-like sweetness and a hint of earthiness. Its coarse granules dissolve slowly, making it ideal for muddling with fresh ingredients in cocktails like a Mojito or Old Fashioned, enhancing flavor without overpowering.
Substitutes
- Brown Sugar— similar sweetness and flavor profile, often used interchangeably.
