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 the Classic range or Cashmere Lite?”
The good news? There’s no wrong answer. Both deliver the signature flavours you know and love—they simply offer a different sweetness experience, so you can choose what suits your taste, drink and occasion.
Here’s everything you need to know to find the perfect syrup for your next creation.
What Is Our Classic Syrup Range?
Our Classic syrups are crafted to deliver a rich, rounded sweetness alongside bold, indulgent flavour.
They’re perfect for creating café-style beverages at home, adding a delicious twist to iced drinks, enhancing desserts, or mixing into cocktails and mocktails.
You’ll love the Classic range if you:
- Enjoy a traditional café-style sweetness
- Prefer a richer, more indulgent flavour profile
- Love experimenting with desserts and baking
- Want to recreate 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 is our lighter-sweetness range, created for those who want all the flavour of their favourite café-inspired drinks with less sugar than our Classic syrups.
It’s a great choice when you want the flavour to shine through with a more subtle sweetness.
Cashmere Lite is perfect if you:
- Enjoy flavoured coffee as part of your everyday routine
- Prefer a lighter sweetness profile
- Want more choice in how you customise your drinks
- Love café-inspired flavours without an overly sweet finish
Because sometimes it’s not about choosing more or less—it’s about finding the flavour 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 profile you know and love.
You’ll still enjoy the creamy notes of Vanilla, buttery Caramel or rich Hazelnut, with a lighter sweetness compared with the Classic range.
Many customers even keep both ranges in their pantry and choose depending on the drink they’re making or the mood they’re in.
Which Syrup Works Best for Different Drinks?
☕ Hot Coffee
Both work beautifully.
If you love a rich, classic café-style latte, reach for the Classic range.
If you prefer the flavour of your coffee to come through with a lighter touch of sweetness, Cashmere Lite is a great choice.
🧊 Iced Coffee
Iced drinks are a great place to experiment with both ranges.
For a balanced, refreshing iced coffee, Cashmere Lite offers plenty of flavour with a lighter sweetness.
Craving something more indulgent or dessert-inspired? The Classic range is perfect for creating that café-style treat.
🍸 Cocktails & Mocktails
When sweetness is an important part of the recipe, our Classic syrups bring richness and body to cocktails and mocktails.
For spritzes, sparkling drinks and lighter-style mocktails, Cashmere Lite can add flavour while keeping the overall drink fresh and balanced.
🥞 Desserts & Baking
The richer sweetness of our Classic syrups makes them a natural choice for baking, dessert coffees, sauces and sweet treats.
For yoghurt bowls, smoothies, fruit drinks and lighter creations, Cashmere Lite is a delicious alternative.
Why Choose Just One?
The best part is, you don’t have to.
Keeping both ranges on hand gives you the freedom to match your syrup to the moment.
Reach for Classic when you’re creating:
- Weekend brunch drinks
- Dessert coffees
- Indulgent iced drinks
- Cocktails
- Baking and desserts
Reach for Cashmere Lite when you’re making:
- Everyday morning coffees
- Refreshing iced drinks
- Smoothies
- Sparkling drinks and spritzes
- Your regular café-inspired favourites
Having both means you can customise every drink exactly the way you like it.
Our Tip: Experiment and Find Your Favourite
Everyone’s taste is different, and that’s the beauty of creating drinks at home.

Either way, you’re still getting the premium, café-inspired flavour Cashmere Syrups is known for.
