florida’s big “sweet” secret
At BootlegGreg Cocktail Co. we build cocktail programs across Florida, the wider United States, and beyond - and there is one ingredient we reach for more than any other - SUGAR
Specifically, Florida Crystals and Domino Sugar products. Sugarcane is Florida’s biggest field crop and the state’s No. 2 agricultural commodity - yet, it is always talked about as a kitchen ingredient, never a bar one.
Behind the bar, sugar isn’t just sweetness. It’s texture, balance, and the thing that carries every other flavor in the glass. Here three recipes we come back to time and time again - house staples any bar or restaurant can build a proprietary program around. LET’S GO.
