Interesting Facts:
Proof Syrup was founded in Decatur, Georgia, in 2014, with a mission to make craft-quality cocktails easy to prepare at home.
Black walnuts are native to North America and have a more intense, earthy and slightly bitter flavor than traditional English walnuts, making them particularly well suited for aromatic cocktail bitters.
The classic Old Fashioned dates back to the early history of American cocktails, traditionally combining whiskey, sugar, bitters and water. Proof Syrup simplifies this preparation by combining the sweetener and bitters into one convenient ingredient.
Serve: Mix with bourbon or rye whiskey over ice. Garnish with an orange peel or cocktail cherry.
