Simple Times Mixers launched a new line of clean-label syrups with upcycled ingredients that minimize waste and create quality drinks on demand.
The company upcycles as many by-products as possible into new products, such as by using the lemon and orange peels from fruit juiced in-house. "In keeping with our efforts to use the whole fruit, we have packed these syrups full of bright citrus flavor and balanced them with other real ingredients to create clean-label syrups," says Mark Tinus, founder of Simple Times Mixers.
The Lavender & Lemon Cocktail Syrup is one such product fueled by all-natural, clean ingredients to make exceptional martinis when combined with gin or vodka. This simple, clean-label syrup integrates organic cane sugar, lavender and lemon peel from Simple Times Mixers' zero-waste initiative.
