Erlis LLC (dba Jarabe Gourmet Pops)

Jarabe Gourmet Pops crafts small-batch, Mexican-style paletas using fresh, all-natural fruits, herbs, and house-made syrups (known as jarabe) to create vibrant, nostalgic treats with a modern twist. From fruity and creamy classics to vegan, spicy, and even boozy options, each pop is rooted in heritage and made with ethically sourced ingredients. Inspired by traditional paleterías and family recipes passed down through generations, Jarabe honors its immigrant roots while prioritizing sustainability through zero-waste practices, composting, and local farm partnerships. With in-house pasteurization and bold, inclusive flavors, Jarabe offers a taste of culture, community, and conscious craftsmanship in a delicious frozen treat.
