About Us
We believe perfect cocktails — made quickly and simply, using the best ingredients — are an unassailable right for all humankind. That's why we created Proof Syrup.
Where It All Started
Proof Syrup began at a craft cocktail bar we used to own in Decatur, Georgia. We wanted a way to create Old Fashioneds quickly and easily, with authentic ingredients, and to do that we created a syrup containing the sugar, bitters, and citrus oils that give that classic cocktail its characteristic flavors. Our customers loved it.
Given its popularity at the bar, we figured we could probably sell our Old Fashioned syrup as a standalone product — so our customers could enjoy the same craft cocktail experience at home. (To be honest, quick, easy craft cocktails at home sounded pretty awesome to us, too.)
In 2014 we bottled our first three flavors: Traditional, Maple Bacon, and Pecan. By 2021, we were producing 16 cocktail syrups with flavor profiles ranging from citrusy to savory to nutty to botanical. Today, we offer more than 20 flavors of syrup and a line of cocktail bitters.

...but also in rye, amaro, tequila, gin, rum and vodka.
Always learning, thinking big, and staying humble along the way.
The most important (not to mention fascinating) people we know.
We surround ourselves with thoughtful people looking to craft perfect cocktails.
The magic is in the details, and we have the reputation to Proof it.
It's good to laugh at ourselves — but our syrups are no joke.
