Yes, this is exactly what it sounds like — simple syrup with 75mg of caffeine per serving (about an espresso shot). It looks and tastes like clean cane simple syrup, with no bitter coffee notes or weird aftertaste, but adds a real, sustained caffeine lift to whatever you stir it into. The first syrup of its kind, and quietly one of the most useful bottles in your kitchen.

Splash it into homemade iced lemonade for an energizing summer cooler. Add an ounce to a vodka soda for a cocktail that won't crash on you mid-evening. Stir it into your coffee for an extra caffeine boost without ordering a second espresso. Mix it into smoothies for a pre-workout lift, or into iced tea for a caffeinated afternoon refresh.

Tasting Notes: clean cane sugar, neutral sweetness, no bitter aftertaste, smooth caffeine lift

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the syrup last after opening?
A: Our syrups are shelf-stable for 24 months unopened. Once opened, refrigerate and enjoy within 6 months.

Q: How much caffeine is in Caffeinated Simple Syrup?
A: 75 mg of caffeine per 1 oz serving — about the same as a single espresso shot. Use it like you'd use coffee: a serving or two at a time, not the whole bottle.

Q: Does Caffeinated Simple Syrup taste like coffee?
A: Nope — and that's the point. The caffeine is added in pure form (the same caffeine that's in coffee, but isolated and tasteless), so the syrup tastes like our regular cane sugar simple syrup: clean, neutral, slightly sweet. No bitter notes, no coffee aftertaste, no weird metallic edge. You can add it to lemonade, cocktails, mocktails, or even a glass of water without changing the flavor of what you're drinking.
