Exploring the Proof Old Fashioned Syrup Collection

Proof offers a variety of Old Fashioned syrups, each crafted to bring a unique twist to your cocktail. Whether you prefer a classic flavor or something more adventurous, there’s a syrup for every palate.

Traditional

The original Proof formula is a classic blend of organic cane sugar, bitters, and citrus oils. It’s balanced perfectly for a true Old Fashioned experience. Use it to make a straightforward, timeless cocktail that tastes like it came straight from a top-tier bar. This syrup not only enhances the flavor profile of your drink but also pays homage to the rich history of the Old Fashioned, a cocktail that has stood the test of time since the early 19th century. The simplicity of its ingredients allows the whiskey's quality to shine through, making it a favorite among purists and cocktail enthusiasts alike.

Maple Bacon

This syrup adds smoky-sweet maple notes, combined with savory bacon essence. It’s a bold choice for whiskey lovers who want to add depth and character to their drinks. Maple Bacon is ideal for those looking to impress guests with something unexpected. The combination of flavors evokes a cozy brunch atmosphere, making it ideal for weekend gatherings or special occasions. Imagine sipping on a Maple Bacon Old Fashioned while enjoying a hearty breakfast spread, where the syrup's unique profile complements everything from pancakes to a classic Eggs Benedict.

Pecan

For a nutty, slightly sweet flavor, the Pecan syrup brings the warm richness of roasted pecans. It adds complexity to whiskey cocktails and pairs well with darker spirits. Keep in mind, this syrup is made in a facility that processes tree nuts, so it’s not recommended for severe nut allergies. The Pecan syrup not only elevates your drink but also invites a sensory experience reminiscent of southern comfort food. Picture yourself enjoying a Pecan Old Fashioned by a crackling fire, where the warmth of the drink mirrors the cozy atmosphere, making it a perfect companion for chilly evenings.

Pumpkin Spice

Perfect for autumn and holiday seasons, this syrup features cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and other fall spices. It transforms your Old Fashioned into a festive treat without the need for extra ingredients or complicated prep. The Pumpkin Spice syrup captures the essence of the season, making it a delightful addition to any holiday gathering. Imagine toasting with friends and family as the aroma of spices fills the air, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that celebrates the spirit of togetherness during the cooler months.

Black Walnut

Earthy and slightly bitter, Black Walnut syrup adds a sophisticated layer of flavor to your whiskey drinks. It’s great for those who want to experiment with deeper, more complex tastes in their cocktails. This syrup not only enhances the drink but also invites a conversation about flavor profiles and the art of mixology. Pairing a Black Walnut Old Fashioned with rich, dark chocolate desserts can create a truly indulgent experience, where the cocktail's bittersweet notes complement the dessert's sweetness, making it a perfect pairing for a dinner party or a special celebration.

How to Use Proof Old Fashioned Syrup for Quick Cocktails

One of the biggest advantages of Proof Syrup is how easy it makes cocktail creation. No muddling, no measuring bitters or citrus oils separately. Just add syrup to your spirit, stir or shake, garnish, and enjoy.

  2. Add 1/2 ounce of Proof Syrup Old Fashioned.
  3. Stir with ice until chilled.
  4. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
  5. Garnish with an orange twist or cherry.

This simple process dramatically reduces cocktail prep time while delivering consistent, delicious results every time.
