Sugar for the Beverage Industry
& Distilling
How is Sugar Used in the Beverage Industry?
Teas, juices, sodas, alcohol, and hot drinks nearly all use some form of sugar or sweetener. While any type of sugar can be added to a hot tea or coffee, there are a few sweeteners commonly used by beverage manufacturers.
Invert sugar is a popular choice for commercial beverage production. Because it consists of sucrose, invert sugar is naturally sweeter than other sugars, meaning less of it is needed to reach the same level of sweetness. Invert sugar also helps increase the shelf life, another reason large bulk beverage manufacturers prefer to use it.
Liquid sugars, specifically
liquid sucrose, are commonly used as they are often easier to dissolve more thoroughly than crystalline sugars.
How is Sugar Used
in Distilling?
Many alcoholic beverages go through the process of fermentation. Sugar and yeast react with each other to create ethyl alcohol used in distilling. While simple granulated sugars can suffice, many expert distillers will also use fruit sugars, beet sugar, sugarcane, or other natural sugars.
Sugar is naturally found in wheat, barley, corn, or malt. The sugars are extracted to create alcoholic drinks such as whiskey, lagers, stouts, wine, and more. Although using the naturally occurring sugars is essential, many distillers still find benefits to the taste and shelf life by adding more sugar to the final product.

With citric acid found in so many carbonated beverages, sugar is used to counteract the acidity and add sweetness and mouthfeel to create a complete, balanced drink.
Juices and alcoholic beverages rely a lot on the naturally found sugars in fruits and grains, but sugar is a key ingredient in the success of a lot of popular brands you're familiar with today.
