Gum syrup is a colorless, unscented syrup made by adding gum arabic to sugar liquid, and is mainly used in cocktails.

Japanese:

濃い甘味液の総称。砂糖を溶かし、香料、コーヒー、紅茶、アラビアガムなどを添加してつくる。もっとも簡単なのは、砂糖を溶かして煮つめたものである。フルーツシロップは、本来は生(なま)の果実の絞り汁に砂糖を加えたものであったが、砂糖液にイチゴ、メロン、オレンジ、レモンなどの着色料や香料を使った製品が多い。グレナデンシロップは、ザクロの風味と鮮紅色が特色のフルーツシロップの一種で、カクテルに用いられる。ガムシロップは砂糖液にアラビアガムを加えた無色・無香のシロップで、おもにカクテルに用いられる。メープルシロップはカナダおよびアメリカ北部産のサトウカエデの樹液を濃縮してつくったもので、風味のよい、不透明の液状をしている。ホットケーキなどにかけて用いられる。そのほか、コーヒーを用いたコーヒーシロップなどがある。シロップはカクテルや飲料の甘味づけに、また、製菓材料やデザートに用いられる。
