Building with it

Sugar in an awkward potion gives swiftness: twenty percent faster movement for three minutes, or eight with redstone. It is the cheapest useful potion in the game, since sugar comes from cane growing next to any water.

In practice

Swiftness stacks with a soul speed enchantment and with a beacon, and the three together produce the fastest running speed available without an elytra. Since sugar cane costs nothing to farm, it is the potion most worth brewing in bulk and keeping in a chest by the door.
