Whether you're crafting your morning latte, mixing an iced coffee, or creating a café-worthy mocktail at home, choosing the right syrup can make all the difference.
One of the questions we hear most often is:
"Should I choose a full sugar syrup or Cashmere Lite?"
The good news? There's no wrong answer. Both deliver the signature flavours you know and love—they're simply designed for different preferences and occasions.
Here's everything you need to know to choose the perfect syrup for your next drink.
What Are Full Sugar Syrups?
Our classic flavoured syrups are crafted to deliver rich sweetness alongside bold, indulgent flavour.
They're perfect for creating café-style beverages at home, adding sweetness to iced drinks, enhancing desserts, or mixing into cocktails.
You'll love them if you:
- Enjoy a classic café-style drink
- Want a sweeter flavour profile
- Love experimenting with desserts and baking
- Are recreating your favourite café order at home
From silky Vanilla to decadent Caramel and rich Hazelnut, our classic range is made to transform everyday drinks into something special.
Think café indulgence, right from your own kitchen.
What Makes Cashmere Lite Different?
Cashmere Lite offers the same delicious flavour experience with less sugar than our classic syrup range.
It's ideal for those who want to enjoy flavoured drinks while reducing the amount of sugar in their everyday beverages, without compromising on taste.
Cashmere Lite is perfect if you:
- Want to enjoy flavoured coffee more regularly
- Prefer a lighter sweetness
- Are looking for more flexibility in your daily routine
- Love café-inspired drinks with a different sweetness profile
Because sometimes it's not about having less flavour, it's simply about finding the balance that works for you.
Does Cashmere Lite Taste Different?
This is probably the biggest question of all.
The answer? Not as much as you might expect.
Our team carefully develops every Cashmere Lite flavour to stay true to the original profile.
You'll still enjoy the creamy Vanilla, buttery Caramel or rich Hazelnut notes you love, with a sweetness level that's slightly lighter than the classic range.
Many customers even keep both ranges in their pantry and choose depending on the drink they're making.
Which Syrup Works Best for Different Drinks?
☕ Hot Coffee
Both work beautifully.
If you enjoy a sweeter café-style latte, the classic range is a fantastic choice.
If you prefer your coffee a little less sweet while still enjoying plenty of flavour, Cashmere Lite is a great option.
🧊 Iced Coffee
Because iced drinks can sometimes taste sweeter, many people enjoy using Cashmere Lite for a balanced finish.
Want a dessert-style iced coffee? Reach for the classic range.
🍸 Cocktails & Mocktails
For cocktails where sweetness plays an important role in the recipe, our classic syrups shine.
For lighter spritzes, mocktails or refreshing sparkling drinks, Cashmere Lite offers plenty of flavour without overwhelming the drink.
🥞 Desserts & Baking
When baking or creating dessert sauces, the classic syrups are generally the best choice thanks to their fuller sweetness.
For yoghurt bowls, smoothies or fruit drinks, Cashmere Lite can be a delicious alternative.
Why Many Customers Keep Both
You don't have to choose just one.
Many Cashmere fans keep both ranges stocked and simply match the syrup to the moment.
Classic for:
- Weekend brunches
- Dessert coffees
- Entertaining guests
- Cocktails and baking
Cashmere Lite for:
- Everyday morning coffees
- Afternoon iced drinks

Having both means you can customise your drinks exactly the way you like them.
