Celebrate the Season with Classic Cocktails Made Easy
Holiday gatherings call for festive drinks that bring warmth and cheer to every guest. Whether you are hosting an intimate dinner or a lively party, having a selection of delicious Christmas drinks can elevate the experience. Classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, and Margarita are perennial favorites, but preparing them from scratch can sometimes feel daunting, especially with the hustle and bustle of the season.
This is where craft cocktail syrups like Proof Syrup come in handy. Born from a passion for simplifying cocktail-making without sacrificing authenticity, Proof Syrup offers a range of syrups that combine sugar, bitters, and citrus oils into one easy-to-use product. This means you can craft bar-quality cocktails in seconds, leaving you more time to enjoy the festivities.
Imagine the aroma of freshly muddled herbs mingling with the sweet notes of your favorite syrup, creating a sensory experience that enhances the spirit of the season. With Proof Syrup, you can easily whip up a refreshing Mojito, where the minty freshness pairs perfectly with the sweetness of their syrup, or a rich Espresso Martini that will keep the energy flowing for your late-night celebrations. Each bottle is crafted with care, ensuring that every sip is a delightful blend of flavors that will impress even the most discerning cocktail connoisseur.
Moreover, the versatility of these syrups allows you to experiment and create your own signature cocktails. Why not try a holiday twist on the classic Negroni by adding a splash of cranberry syrup for a festive touch? Or perhaps a spiced rum punch featuring their ginger syrup to warm up your guests on a chilly evening? The possibilities are endless, and with such ease of preparation, you can focus on what truly matters: making memories with friends and family during this joyous season.
Old Fashioned Variations To Warm Up Your Holiday
The Old Fashioned is a timeless cocktail that perfectly suits the cozy vibe of Christmas. Proof Syrupโs Old Fashioned syrups are designed to capture the essence of this classic with authentic ingredients like organic cane sugar and real citrus oils.
Traditional Old Fashioned
The original Proof Syrup Old Fashioned blend is balanced and smooth, making it a perfect base for bourbon or rye whiskey. Its mix of bitters and citrus oils delivers the familiar warmth and complexity that guests love.
Maple Bacon Old Fashioned
For a festive twist, the Maple Bacon syrup adds a smoky-sweet depth with real maple syrup and a subtle bacon essence. This flavor is especially popular during the holiday season, evoking the comforting tastes of winter.
Pecan and Pumpkin Spice
Nutty Pecan syrup brings a rich toasted flavor that complements whiskey beautifully, while Pumpkin Spice adds seasonal warmth with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg notes. Both syrups are excellent choices to create cocktails that feel uniquely holiday-inspired.
Bright and Festive Cocktails Beyond Whiskey
Christmas drinks are not just about whiskey. Adding variety with citrusy, fruity, and botanical cocktails can please every palate at your gathering.
Citrus Sour and Margarita Syrups
Proof Syrupโs Citrus Sour syrup is a concentrated blend perfect for Whiskey Sours, Tom Collins, or Lemon Drops, eliminating the need for fresh lemon juice. For tequila fans, the Margarita syrup combines lime and orange oils for a ready-to-mix classic margarita thatโs both tangy and festive.
Ginger and Honey Syrups
Warm and spicy Ginger syrup is ideal for Moscow Mules or Dark & Stormy cocktails, adding a seasonal kick. Honey syrup offers a smooth, floral sweetness that works wonderfully in lighter cocktails like the Beeโs Knees or Gold Rush, making it a versatile choice for holiday entertaining.
Fruity and Floral Options
For those who prefer fruit-forward drinks, Pomegranate and White Peach syrups bring tartness and sweetness, respectively, perfect for spritzes or Bellinis. Botanical blends with herbs and florals can also add an elegant touch to your cocktail menu.
Making Holiday Entertaining Simple and Stylish
One of the biggest challenges during the holidays is juggling preparation and socializing. Proof Syrupโs ready-to-use cocktail syrups simplify the process, allowing you to whip up cocktails in under a minute. Just add your spirit of choice, stir or shake, garnish, and serve.

Quality Ingredients for Authentic Flavor
At the heart of Proof Syrupโs appeal is its commitment to quality. Every batch is mixed, cooked, and bottled by hand in Atlanta, Georgia, using organic cane sugar, real citrus oils, and the worldโs best aromatic bitters. This dedication to authentic ingredients means your holiday cocktails taste fresh and true to classic recipes.
While Proof Syrup avoids artificial preservatives to maintain flavor integrity, this means some syrups have varying shelf lives. For example, Traditional and Maple Bacon syrups can last up to two years unopened, while more delicate flavors like Pomegranate and Hibiscus have shorter shelf lives. To keep your syrups fresh, store opened bottles in the refrigerator and shake well before use.
Allergy and Dietary Considerations
Hosting a holiday gathering often means accommodating diverse dietary needs. Proof Syrup offers many nut-free options, including Traditional, Maple Bacon, Pumpkin Spice, and several fruit and herb-based syrups. However, since tree nuts are processed in the same facility, those with severe allergies should exercise caution.
All syrups are gluten-free, and most are vegan except for Honey and Maple Bacon, which contain animal-derived ingredients. This transparency helps you select syrups that suit your guestsโ preferences and restrictions.
