strongwater old fashioned craft cocktail mixer - makes 32 cocktails - handcrafted old fashioned syrup with bitters, orange, cherry & organic demerara sugar - just mix with bourbon or whiskey strongwater the old fashioned is the granddaddy of all classic cocktails, one of the first known examples of combining spirits with bitters and sugar to make a libation greater than the sum of its parts. nodding to its status as a staple in the arsenal of millions of bartenders the world over, we aimed to make the very best bottled version out there; after three years of tinkering, we've reached our goal. the caramel notes of organic demerara sugar, citrus tang of fresh orange peel, and tart sweetness of organic cherries combine in mountain spring water, enlivened by a nutty and complex blend of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and bitter herbs. well-balanced, roundly smooth, and layered, this blend is good enough to drink on its own over ice. for the cocktail, just add a favorite whiskey, and garnish with an orange peel, a cherry, or both.
