How do I make an Old Fashioned with this mix?

Preparing a cocktail takes less than a minute and requires only three ingredients: ice, the Strongwater espresso Old Fashioned syrup, and your favorite bourbon, rye, or whiskey. The syrup is pre-balanced so measurements are straightforward and reliable every time.

• Fill a rocks glass with large ice.
• Measure the syrup per label directions (yields ~32 drinks per 1 pack).
• Add 2 oz bourbon (or spirit of choice), stir 15–20 seconds, garnish.
• Try a dash of Old Fashioned bitters—cherry, cacao, orange, or walnut—for nuance.

What flavor profile should I expect from the espresso Old Fashioned?

The mix balances bittersweet espresso with layered sweetness and bright cherry notes for a complex sipping experience. You’ll notice caramel and orange undertones that round the profile while the cherry adds a tart finish to complement whiskey’s warmth.

• Primary: rich, bittersweet espresso.
• Supporting: caramel and orange citrus facets.
• Finish: tart cherry accents for brightness.
• Texture: smooth syrup for even integration with spirits.

How should I store and how long will it keep after opening?

Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, refrigerate and use within 3–4 months for best flavor; this non-alcoholic mix preserves freshness but performs best when consumed relatively quickly.

• Unopened: store at room temperature, away from light.
• Opened: refrigerate promptly.
• Use within 3–4 months after opening for peak quality.
• Shake gently before serving if separation occurs.
