Bacanha Reglisse (Licorice) Syrup

Bacanha Brut Réglisse is an organic licorice syrup with a deep, unmistakably botanical character. The flavor is assertive and earthy, with the naturally sweet, slightly bitter quality of licorice root and a pronounced anise aroma. This is not a shy syrup. A small amount brings considerable depth to a drink, particularly when paired with citrus, coffee, cola or other bitter flavors.

Made in France with organic pure cane sugar, water, natural licorice flavor and citric acid, it contains no long list of extras. The 400ml bottle is concentrated enough for approximately 20 drinks.

Why We Love It

Licorice is a wonderfully grown-up flavor when used with a light hand. It can bring bitterness, sweetness and anise-like complexity all at once, making it particularly interesting for non-alcoholic cocktails where those layers can help create a more substantial drink. This one is distinctive, so we recommend starting small and building from there.

Try It With

Licorice Cola: add ¼ to ½ oz Bacanha Brut Réglisse to a tall glass filled with ice and top with a good-quality cola. Finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon. Bacanha also recommends pairing the syrup simply with cola.

Especially good with dark chocolate, espresso, orange, vanilla ice cream, chocolate cake or salted nuts.
