Maple Bacon Cocktail Syrups

This Flavor Lets People Put a Modern Spin on Old Fashioneds

Old Fashioneds are about to get a lot more modern thanks to this maple bacon cocktail syrup. Created by bartenders at The Pinewood in Decatur, GA, it puts a fun, pop culture spin on the alcoholic beverage without messing with the tradition too much. First of all, it still has a masculine edge. Secondly, the maple bacon cocktail syrup adds flavor in a way that is hard to beat.

Savory and smokey, the maple bacon cocktail syrup is handmade using hickory-smoked organic cane sugar as well as Proof's unique blend oleo saccharums, smoky bacon, and real maple syrup. Each bottle can be mixed into 32 cocktails, which is enough to last quite some time -- unless it's used for a party. In that case, much more will be needed.
