If brown sugar, miso, and a splash of fish sauce walked into a bar, you'd probably call the bartender. But hear us out—this trio is not a punchline. It’s the heart and soul of our BB Beans Flavored Rich Simple Syrup, and it's here to shake up your drinks in the best way possible.
It’s sweet, sure—but with complexity, depth, and a wink of umami that makes every sip feel just a little more grown-up (without the hangover).So what’s the deal with miso and fish sauce in a syrup?
Glad you asked, curious foodie.
Why Miso and Fish Sauce?
Miso brings that deep, earthy umami that makes ramen bowls and glazes feel expensive. In a syrup, it lends a subtle savory backdrop that keeps brown sugar from becoming too sweet. Think of it like putting sea salt on caramel—suddenly, your taste buds are wide awake and a little turned on.
As for fish sauce? We know, we know. It smells like a dare. But used correctly (and we did), it’s magic. Just a dash elevates the other flavors and adds an elusive "what is that?" quality that turns your iced coffee or mocktail into a full-blown conversation starter. Don’t worry—it’s not fishy. It’s fancy.
