Why We Rethought our Syrup—And Maybe You Should Too

Why We Rethought our Syrup—And Maybe You Should Too

Apr 16, 2025Amber Burr

Have you ever checked the ingredients on your syrup bottle?

We did.

What we found on most store-bought syrups?
Words we couldn’t pronounce. Ingredients we didn’t want our kids eating. And a taste that felt... fake.

That’s exactly why Daddy’s Homemade was born.

We knew there had to be a better way—a way to bring real flavor and real ingredients back to something as simple as syrup. Whether it’s on your pancakes, in your latte, cocktail or mocktail or drizzled over a scoop of vanilla ice cream… what you pour should taste like what it’s supposed to taste like.


Here are 3 reasons we think it’s time to rethink your syrup:


1. Most syrups are loaded with artificial stuff.

Flip over the bottle and take a look: high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, caramel coloring, and preservatives you’ve never heard of.

At Daddy’s Homemade, we keep it simple:
Cane sugar, water, and natural extracts. That’s it. Nothing fake. Ever.


2. The flavor should make you pause in the best way.

Ever had a Lavender latte that actually tasted like real lavender—not perfume or soap? Or pancakes with Peach syrup that reminded you of a farmer’s market?

Yeah. That’s the difference we’re talking about.
Our customers say it all the time: “It tastes like the real thing.”

Because it is.


3. Good syrup brings people together.

For us, it started at the breakfast table with our kids. And it’s grown into something so much bigger—home coffee bars, holiday gifting, Sunday brunch or evening cocktails or mocktails with friends.

Real syrup turns the ordinary into something worth slowing down for.


You don’t have to make your own to have something special.

You just have to know what’s in it.
