Stop Using Egg White! Super Syrup is here!

Today I’ll tell you why you should stop using egg white in your sour cocktails: Super Syrup is here! Be it for safety concerns, the smell, dilution, the waste of yolks or eating restrictions, not everyone is a fan of egg whites in their cocktails. This is why this week I decided to bring you Super Syrup - a vegan alternative that manages to replicate the silky texture and the stable foam of egg whites. It was inspired by the work of Mike Capoferri, from LA’s Thunderbolt bar. I also made two Whiskey Sours to compare, a classic version with egg white, and a version with Super Syrup, combining both the sweetener and the frothing agent to create a wonderful ingredient that can be used in many more drinks! So get comfortable and make sure to use the calculator on my website to make yourself some Super Syrup. Cheers!

Awesome find Kevin! Do you think the methylcellulose will have the same side effects of egg white such as binding tannins? For example why egg white is necessary in the Earl Grey MarTEAni

[@tankbuggeru]

Is it possible to make the Super Syrup with sweetener instead of sugar, but with similar results?

[@KevinKos]

@@tankbuggeru yes

[@KevinKos]

@@drkmaster0 it will not have the same effect as the egg white does.

[@vaettra1589]

Nah. Too much work.

[@DeathToMayo]

I make hummus a lot which means I often have aquafaba on hand. I reduce the aquafaba and then pour it into my ice cube tray which happens to be about 1 ounce per cube giving me aquafaba cubes. I just pop a cube into the shaker as I'm making the drink. Thoroughly shake it to create a foam as I chill the drink. No ice needed so I have more control over the dilution.

[@andyjmozer]

Brilliant- does the cube completely dissolve

[@JesseCohen]

I do similar with coffee cubes for coffee based beverages. More chill, full flavor. I’ll try this as well, thanks!

I learn 2 techniques, the syrup, and the idea of using the hawthorn strainer to separate eggs, which is INSPIRED.

[@KevinKos]

Happy to hear that, cheers!

[@jerryabbanat9452]

After some trial and error I finally have a beautiful cocktail with Kevins recipe. My first mistake was to get Methylcelluose powder which produced little foam. I then read in the comments that Methocel F50 (Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) was the better choice. I then followed the technique and got terrific results. However, on my third attempt I made the mistake of adding the Methocel dissolved in hot water into the sugar-xanthan liquid rather than the sugar-xanthan liquid into the Methocel solution. Whatever the reaction was this did not produce a beautiful foam. Finally today I followed the recipe exactly and got a beautiful long lasting foam. Hope this helps others.

[@KevinKos]

I am so happy you didn't stop after the first attempt! Awesome that you like this syrup! Cheers!

I've never used egg whites in my drinks due to dietary sensitivities, so I've been using aquafaba for years, but this will replace it. You are right. The aquafaba does impart a slight flavor. You won't notice it in a sour, but you will in something more subtle. So yes, I'm excited about this!

[@JoeJohnson1]

I'll definitely be trying this. We've used aquafaba, but it never really satisfied like egg whites. I already make my syrup and add a few things to the recipe. It takes a day or so of heating, cooling and heating again. Do you think that the Methylcellulose, Gum Arabic and Xanthan Gum would hold up? Or maybe I'd be better off mixing them separately and adding at the end?

[@TheSpiritoftheCocktail]

@KevinKos I have been using many of your syrups and particularly the Super Syrup for over a year with my cocktail program. I have decided to try to use it with a cocktail I had previously used Egg white with. It is a Rosemary Hemmingway. So I tried making a Rosemary Super Syrup by making Rosemary water and using that blended with sugar and Xanthum Gum. But the foam is dissipating Super quick unlike with the regular Super Syrup. I have been trying to remedy but have become a bit stuck of what is doing it

[@shawnmartin9790]

I made this and I am quite happy with it. Bear in mind it’s only major limitation is the amount of foam being tied to the amount of sugar. So works great in a daiquiri style sour (i.e. no liqueurs), but not great in something like a Margarita. Also requires a good dry shake.

[@jeremybuckets]

why would you add a foaming agent to a margarita?

[@adamkrauss303]

Great vid as usual. Was going to stock up on a few Liber syrups between their summer sale and your added discount. However, when I got to checkout o saw to my chagrin that shipping charge was almost as much as the syrup. Abort mission and go to Amazon prime.

[@KevinKos]

Oh man, that's a bummer! When I checked I saw free shipping, but I had just over $50 in my cart (after all the discounts) which I now see it applicable for orders over $50. The shelf life of the syrups we have in the studio seems to be great, stored in the fridge after opening, of course. Thanks for watching the video and your comment. Cheers, Adam!

[@shaydabush7629]

Thanks Kevin and team! Quick question - what's the maximum amount of time I can let the Gum syrup sit by itself before using it? Having it precisely sit for 12 hours makes it difficult to plan when I can start the whole process.

question if you wanted to add more sugar to made it self stable how would that affect the rest of ingredient. For example I tend to make simple syrupy 2:1 ratio of sugar to water because syrup won't expired and don't need to keep it in the fridge. so long will the super sour syrup will actually last.

Hello Kevin, First of all thank you for your channel. I learn a lot every time I watch it and it's really good having someone sharing techniques about drinks. Second I'm having a problem with the super syrup. I tried to replicate at home twice until I realized that I didn't buy methylcellulose, I bought carboxymethyl cellulose because this one is a little bit more accessible in Brazil. I wanted to know if you know the difference between methylcellulose and CMC and if there is a measure to use it and a right temperature (when I tried to put boiling water on CMC it firmed it like a thick gel). I did the gum syrup and it worked just fine, but I really wanted to make the super syrup work because it would help me a lot at work. Again, thanks a lot for your content. We, as bartenders, need more channels like yours, since we could apply so many different techniques behind the bar, but don't have a proper professionalization of the job, like gastronomy.

Would be interesting to add Food Grade Polysorbate 80, which is a powerful foaming agent, to the syrup as well as the methylcellulose. Or alternatively something like Foamex Quillaja Extract which is derived from plants, much harder to get though than Food Grade Polysorbate 80. Modernist Pantry for instance sells Polysorbate 80.

Thank you Kevin, this syrup became an essential behind my bar and pushed my into trying a bunch a different sour variations with some great results! Also because I love to play with your Grapefruit super juice I noticed that when those two are mixed it doesn't foam well... Maybe because of MSG, or malic acid ? Idk, I'm just letting you know, it's interesting. Cheers !

I notice that on a cocktail made with lime juice (which also has a malic acid) the foam dissipates a bit faster than usual. I guess the problem is in malic acid.

Solved mystery ;)

For a sour cocktail recipe, do I match the super syrup with the simple syrup? For example, if a recipe asks for 1/4oz of simple syrup and 1/2oz of egg white then I only need to use 1/4oz of super syrup in the cocktail. Is that a correct assumption? What about a cocktail that does not use simple syrup? How much super syrup do I use then? For example, the Fireman’s Sour.

Thank you Kevin for sharing this alternative. My question is, how can you use in any cocktail involving different kind of syrup or fruit puree, let's say a pink lady, a clover club or even any sour twisted like a watermelon tequila sour. How do you balance it ? Do you batch a new super syrup with that precise ingredients ( like raspberry for the clover club)? Thank you

Check out my clover club episode where I made the modern version of this cocktail using Raspberry Super Syrup. Cheers!

I'm incredibly excited to try this. I always found the smell quite off-putting. Thanks!

Cheers! 😉🥂

Super sirop super validé. L'apport du xantham maintient bien la mousse. Merci @MikeCapoferri et @cocktailtimewithKevinKos pour cette ingénieuse idée !

Is it necessary to make a dry shake with this « super syrup?

Hey Kevin, where I could find more food safety info about methylcellulose?
