Liber & Co.

Liber & Co. is an Austin, Texas-based craft cocktail syrup manufacturer specializing in premium, small-batch syrups made from real, well-sourced ingredients and pure cane sugar. Founded in 2011 after extensive research into the craft cocktail bar scene across New York, Washington D.C., and Austin, the company identified a market gap for high-quality, consistent cocktail syrups that could replicate the freshness and authenticity of house-made bar ingredients at scale. The company's product lineup includes a wide range of cocktail syrups such as Almond Orgeat, Demerara Gum Syrup, Tropical Passionfruit Syrup, and many others, all formulated with a culinary approach that prioritizes authentic flavor and ingredient integrity. Liber & Co. sources ingredients globally, including Texas grapefruit, Peruvian ginger cooperative partnerships, and other premium raw materials, while maintaining domestic production in Austin. All syrups are crafted using pure cane sugar — never high fructose corn syrup — and the company has built direct supplier relationships to ensure consistency and quality across its ingredient base. From humble beginnings on a commercial stovetop, Liber & Co. has grown significantly, moving from a 7,000 sq. ft. facility with a 200-gallon custom process tank to a brand-new 21,000 sq. ft. custom-built manufacturing facility completed in 2023. This facility was designed in-house to support large-scale production while preserving the artisan, culinary-driven methodology that defines the brand. The company has garnered national recognition, including a feature on CNBC's 'Billion Dollar Buyer' in 2016, and has received praise from prominent industry voices such as Bon Appétit Magazine, Paste Magazine, and celebrated bartenders like Tony Abou-Ganim. Liber & Co. serves both the on-premise hospitality sector — including national bar and restaurant accounts — and the direct-to-consumer retail market. Their products are used in craft cocktail programs at high-end bars and restaurants, as well as by home bartenders seeking professional-grade ingredients. The company also offers curated starter kits, cocktail recipe resources, and video tutorials to support consumer education and brand engagement. With custom manufacturing capabilities and a scalable production infrastructure, Liber & Co. is positioned as a key supplier of cocktail mixers and syrups for foodservice operators, hospitality groups, and retail buyers seeking premium, authentically crafted beverage ingredients.
