Proof Syrups: Crafting Classic and Creative Cocktails Made Simple

Why Proof Syrups Are a Game-Changer for Home Cocktail Makers

Craft Cocktails Made Simple with Proof Syrups

Mixing cocktails at home can be a hassle. Measuring bitters, muddling citrus, and balancing sugar often slow down the process. Proof Syrups simplifies this by combining essential cocktail ingredients into one ready-to-use syrup. Whether you’re aiming for a classic Old Fashioned or a creative seasonal drink, these syrups cut down prep time without sacrificing quality.

Skip the Hassle, Keep the Flavor: Proof Syrups to the Rescue

Crafted with natural ingredients and hand-bottled in small batches, Proof Syrups bring the craft cocktail bar experience right to your kitchen. You don’t need a full bar setup or advanced skills, just your favorite spirit and a bottle of syrup. This innovative approach not only saves time but also ensures that every cocktail you create is consistently delicious, allowing you to impress your guests without the stress of complicated recipes.

Shake Less, Enjoy More: The Magic of Proof Syrups

Proof Syrups offer a wide variety of flavors that cater to diverse palates. From rich vanilla and aromatic lavender to zesty ginger and refreshing cucumber, there’s a syrup for every occasion and mood. This versatility encourages experimentation, enabling home bartenders to explore new flavor profiles and create unique drinks that reflect their personal tastes. Imagine hosting a summer garden party where guests can enjoy a refreshing cucumber-mint cocktail, or a cozy winter gathering with spiced apple cider cocktails, all made effortlessly with the right syrup.

Mix Faster, Drink Better with Ready-to-Use Cocktail Syrups

The convenience of Proof Syrups extends beyond just cocktails. These syrups can also elevate non-alcoholic beverages, making them a fantastic choice for mocktails or simply for enhancing your favorite soda or sparkling water. With the growing trend of mindful drinking, having a selection of flavorful syrups on hand allows you to create sophisticated, alcohol-free options that everyone can enjoy. This inclusivity not only enhances your hosting capabilities but also encourages a more diverse drinking culture among friends and family.

Exploring Proof Syrup’s Signature Collections

Old Fashioned Syrups: Classic Cocktails Made Easy

Proof’s Old Fashioned Syrups are designed for those who love the timeless cocktail but want a faster way to make it. Each syrup blends sugar, bitters, and citrus oils to replicate the bar-quality flavor of an Old Fashioned with minimal effort. With these syrups, you can elevate your home cocktail experience without the need for extensive bartending skills or a fully stocked bar.

• Traditional: The original formula featuring organic cane sugar and aromatic bitters. It’s balanced and true to the classic recipe.
• Maple Bacon: Adds smoky-sweet maple and savory bacon notes for a bold twist on whiskey cocktails.
• Pecan: Offers a nutty, roasted pecan flavor that deepens the richness of your drink.
• Pumpkin Spice: Perfect for autumn, this syrup includes cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg for seasonal warmth.
• Black Walnut: Earthy and slightly bitter, it adds complexity and pairs well with darker spirits.

Each of these syrups not only simplifies the cocktail-making process but also invites creativity. Imagine hosting a gathering where you can offer guests a choice of Old Fashioned variations, each with its own unique flavor profile. The Maple Bacon syrup, for instance, can be a conversation starter, drawing in those who appreciate a hint of savory in their sweet drinks. Meanwhile, the Pumpkin Spice syrup can transform a classic into a seasonal favorite, making it perfect for cozy fall evenings by the fire.

Classic Cocktail Syrups: Versatility for Many Drinks

Beyond Old Fashioneds, Proof offers syrups crafted for a variety of iconic cocktails. These syrups are pre-balanced, so you can skip extra steps like squeezing fresh citrus or adding bitters separately. This versatility means that whether you're a seasoned mixologist or a casual cocktail enthusiast, you can whip up impressive drinks with ease, allowing you to focus on enjoying the moment rather than laboring over the details.

• Orange: Bright and zesty, ideal for margaritas, daiquiris, and gin cocktails.
• Whiskey Sour: Balances tart citrus with sweetness, ready for quick whiskey sours.
• Sazerac: Herbaceous with anise and bitters notes, perfect for the New Orleans classic.
• Manhattan: Concentrated bitters and vermouth flavors, pre-mixed for smooth Manhattans.
• Margarita: Lime-and-orange-forward blend tailored for tequila cocktails.

These classic cocktail syrups are not just limited to traditional recipes; they can also inspire new creations. For example, the Orange syrup can be a delightful addition to a refreshing spritz, while the Whiskey Sour syrup can be used to craft a unique twist on a classic punch. The Sazerac syrup, with its complex herbal notes, can also be drizzled over desserts like chocolate cake or panna cotta for an unexpected flavor pairing. With Proof’s syrups, the possibilities are endless, allowing you to explore and experiment with flavors that can surprise and delight your palate.

Quality Ingredients and Natural Flavor

One of Proof Syrup’s core strengths is its commitment to using fresh, natural ingredients. The Traditional syrup, for example, is made with organic cane sugar, real citrus oils, and quality bitters. This approach avoids artificial preservatives, which means the syrups have a shorter shelf life but a richer, fresher taste.

Proof Syrup chooses flavor integrity over long-lasting shelf life. That’s why some syrups expire in as little as three months, especially fruit and herb-forward flavors like Hibiscus and Pomegranate. Old-fashioned syrups tend to last longer, up to two years unopened.

Storage Tips for Best Flavor

Before opening, Proof Syrups are shelf-stable and don’t require refrigeration. Once opened, store them in the fridge and shake well before use. Watch for signs of expiration such as cloudiness, separation, or an off smell. Using syrups within the recommended timeframe ensures you get the best taste every time.

Allergy and Dietary Considerations

Proof Syrups cater to a wide range of dietary needs. Most flavors are vegan, except for Honey and Maple Bacon, which contain animal-derived ingredients. All syrups are gluten-free, and none contain grape products.

For those with nut allergies, it’s important to note that while many flavors are nut-free, the facility processes tree nuts. Cross-contamination is unlikely but cannot be completely ruled out for severe allergies. Flavors like Traditional, Maple Bacon, Pumpkin Spice, and many others are nut-free, but caution is advised.

How to Use Proof Syrups for Quick, Delicious Cocktails

Using Proof Syrups is straightforward. Simply add the syrup to your chosen spirit, stir or shake, garnish, and enjoy. This method eliminates the need to muddle, measure bitters, or squeeze fresh citrus, making cocktail creation faster and more consistent.

Simple Steps for a Classic Old Fashioned

1. Pour 2 oz of your preferred whiskey into a glass.
2. Add 0.5 oz of Proof Traditional Old Fashioned Syrup.
3. Stir gently with ice until chilled.
4. Garnish with an orange twist or cherry.

This quick process delivers a balanced, flavorful Old Fashioned without the fuss.

Creative Cocktail Ideas Using Seasonal Syrups

Proof Syrups also inspire inventive drinks. For example, try a Pumpkin Spice Margarita by combining tequila with Pumpkin Spice syrup and a splash of lime. Or mix the Maple Bacon syrup with bourbon for a smoky-sweet cocktail that’s perfect for cozy evenings.
