Traditional Old Fashioned Syrup

4.8 (6770)
$34.95 a bottle • $29.71 with Subscribe & Save

Makes up to 32 cocktails

The Old Fashioned mix bartenders actually make at the bar.

Seconds away from a bar-quality Old Fashioned.

Traditional is the OG Proof Syrup, our first flavor and top seller. Add your favorite aged spirit and pour. That's a finished Old Fashioned in seconds.

It's made from organic cane sugar, real citrus oils, and the best aromatic bitters in the world. It isn't a substitute for the "real" ingredients. It is the real ingredients. Craft bartenders created it at a bar in Decatur, Georgia to take the time and hassle out of mixing the perfect Old Fashioned.

Why people buy it

  • One bottle makes 32 Old Fashioneds.
  • No bitters, no sugar cubes, no muddling. Syrup, spirit, ice.
  • Non-alcoholic. It's a mixer, not a liqueur, so you bring the whiskey.
  • Same drink every time, any time, anywhere.

How to make it

Pour 2 oz of your favorite bourbon or rye over ice, add about a half ounce of Traditional, stir, and garnish with an orange peel.

Absolutely Love It! Takes the work and measurements doubt out of the perfect Manhattan ♥️

- Carolyn B.

I love this syrup for my old fashioned! The sweetness of the syrup and the orange flavor pair well with my favorite higher proof bourbons and make for a very enjoyable drink.

- Patrick K.

Ok, I did purchase the Proof Maple Bacon Syrup just to make this drink. And oh what a drink it is! Complex, smoky, with a hint of sweetness. A slight twist to the traditional Old Fashioned. Proof Syrups have transformed my home bartending game!

- Janet H.

This is as easy as it gets.

Spend less time behind the bar peeling, muddling, and meticulously measuring—just add some Proof Syrup to your favorite spirit and mix. It really is that simple.

FAQs

Yes, keep opened bottles of Proof in the fridge, and shake well before each use.

Yes, Proof Syrup does expire. Here's a flavor-by-flavor breakdown:

Traditional, Black Walnut, Maple Bacon, Pecan, Orange, and Pumpkin Spice have a shelf life of 2 years from bottling date.

Basil, Citrus Sour, Ginger, Honey, Lavender, Mint, Rosemary, Compassion Fruit, and White Peach have a shelf life of 8 months.

Hibiscus, Classic Grenadine, and Pomegranate have a shelf life of 3 months.

All of our syrups are made with the highest quality fresh, natural, perishable ingredients and anything we could do or add to lengthen shelf life would affect taste. We chose to trade lengthy shelf life for fresh, natural flavor — and we think you’ll agree it was worth it.

Most orders typically ship within 1-3 days of purchase. We update the shipping time on each product's page to reflect manufacturing timelines, so check the pages for the specific products you're buying.

No, we do not currently offer international shipping.

I had never really had an Old Fashioned before, but my wife and I went to a community theater and one of their drinks was called a "Lumberjack." It was an Old Fashioned, but made with maple and bacon. I tried it and loved it! (I mean maple and bacon ... who wouldn't?) I went looking for a way to make it at home and found Proof Syrup made just such a thing. I have now reordered multiple times and I make these for anybody who stops by! Great product, great service, win-win-win!

Customer photo review of Maple Bacon

I went to a local dinner theater with my wife and they featured an Old Fashioned cocktail made with "maple and bacon." I was very curious and tried it. It was love at first sight! I went online when I got home to see if anyone was making a maple and bacon syrup for an Old Fashioned cocktail and there was Proof! I'm on my third bottle. I LOVE this stuff. I didn't really have a "favorite" cocktail before this, but I do now. Try it and see what I'm talking about.

What a great tasting and easy to make old fashion. You gotta try it if you haven’t yet. It did take a little longer than expected to receive my order. Be sure to plan 2 to 3 weeks ahead since this is made in small batches. Worth the wait
