How do I make an Old Fashioned with this mix?

Preparing a classic Old Fashioned is a three-step pour-and-stir process: ice, syrup, then spirit. The mix is concentrated so one bottle yields roughly 32 standard cocktails depending on your pour size and taste preferences.

• Fill an old fashioned glass with large ice.
• Add 1 part Strongwater Old Fashioned Mix (adjust to taste).
• Top with 2–3 parts bourbon, rye, or whiskey; stir until chilled and diluted.
• Garnish with an orange twist or one of the included organic cherries.

What flavors are inside and why do they matter?

The recipe layers tart organic cherries and bright orange zest with a warm spice blend—cinnamon, clove, and cardamom—plus subtle bitter herbs. These components create the signature balance of sweet, bitter, and aromatic notes that define a traditional Old Fashioned without overpowering your chosen spirit.

• Tart organic cherries add fruit acidity and natural sweetness.
• Fresh orange peel delivers citrus brightness and aromatic oils.
• Warm spices and bitter herbs provide depth and cocktail structure.

Is this mix suitable for special diets and storage?

Yes — the syrup is non-GMO and gluten-free, making it compatible with many dietary needs. The product contains no alcohol, and once opened it’s best used within 3–4 months for peak flavor.

• Non-GMO and gluten-free formulation.
• No alcohol in the mix; pairs with your choice of spirit.
• Refrigerate after opening and use within 3–4 months.

Can I customize cocktails beyond the classic recipe?

Absolutely—this mix is intentionally versatile. Try different whiskies, add a few dashes of complementary bitters (cherry, orange, cacao, or walnut), or experiment with smoked ice or barrel-aged spirits to change character and complexity.

• Swap bourbon, rye, or blended whiskey to vary spice and sweetness.
• Add bitters to emphasize specific flavor notes.
• Use larger or smoked ice to control dilution and aroma.

Who is this for: Strongwater Old Fashioned Mix suits home bartenders, hosts who want reliable and consistent cocktails for gatherings, and anyone looking to simplify craft cocktail preparation without sacrificing layered flavor. It’s ideal for people who appreciate a refined Old Fashioned but prefer the convenience of a ready-made, award-recognized mixer that just needs a good bourbon or rye to finish.
