How Commercial Mixes, Purees & Syrups Work
These professional bar products are concentrated flavour powerhouses that transform ordinary beverages into signature serves. Syrups bring sweetness and aromatics, typically in glass bottles with precision pour spouts for controlled dispensing. Fruit purees deliver authentic taste without seasonal limitations—simply shake, pour and blend. Bar mixes combine multiple ingredients (juices, flavourings, sometimes even alcohol bases) to ensure consistency across drinks. Most products have extended shelf lives (6-24 months unopened), and once opened, they maintain quality for weeks when properly refrigerated—making them far more cost-effective than fresh ingredients in busy commercial environments.
