syrup drizzle

Sweet thin stream

A syrup drizzle is a thin stream of syrup poured decoratively over food—pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or pastries.

The term emphasizes the controlled, artistic application rather than a heavy pour: She finished the plate with a syrup drizzle.

In coffee shops, a syrup drizzle often means flavored syrup (caramel, chocolate) zigzagged across whipped cream or foam.
