- Strongwater Old Fashioned Mix - Makes 32 Cocktails - Handcrafted Old Fashioned Syrup with Bitters, Orange, Cherry, Organic Demerara Sugar - Craft Cocktail Mixer, Just Mix with Bourbon,Whiskey - 1 Pack

I bought this as a gift for my husband, and it has been a huge hit. He recently had some of the best Old Fashioneds on a cruise, and this mix really brings him back to that experience. This is not just bitters, it is a full Old Fashioned mix, so nothing else is needed except whiskey, bourbon, or rye. It is incredibly easy to use since it only takes two ingredients to make a great drink. The flavor is rich, smooth, and well balanced, and it instantly elevates the cocktail. We did add some high quality cocktail cherries, which made it even better. He has tried several different mixes before, and this is by far the best one he has used so far. Using it with nice glasses and a round ice cube makes it feel like a cocktail bar at home. This turned out to be a very well thought out gift that he truly enjoys.

It only took me 58 years, but I finally heard of an Old Fashioned drink and decided to give it a try, as I really like bourbon. Over a few weeks I bought several different Old Fashioned mixes from the grocery store, but had to really tweak them to get them to taste good. So I started looking around for a really good mixer. If I want a drink I don't like to have to get out a bunch of different ingredients, I just want to get to it. I've tried about 7 different Old Fashioned mixes and I'd have to honestly say that the Strongwater is my favorite! Expensive in my opinion, but hands down the best one. It's odd to me that this mix is more than twice the price per oz than a good quality bourbon, but I guess that's just how it goes. A $75 1.75lt (59oz) bottle of bourbon (which I think would be considered pricey by most) is approximately $1.27/oz. Strongwater Old Fashioned mix is $2.99/oz. What gives please? And I love the taste of bourbon, but adding 1/4oz of mix to 2oz of bourbon is very strong in my opinion. A half oz to 2oz tastes really good. So IMHO you have to use twice the amount per drink. I like to just put 4oz of bourbon to 1oz of this mix and it's fantastic. I'm not really a fan of the orange peal, but a good cocktail cherry out of the bottom of the glass at the end is great! Price aside it's still the best tasting mixer where you don't have to spend a lot of time to make the drink it or tweak it to get a great flavor. Ok, now I'm really thirsty for one but I'm out of Strongwater. #@$&!

Very good mix. Makes an easy, GREAT tasting Old Fashioned. You can make many drinks from one bottle. I add dark cherries and a little bit of the cherry juice. Best one I've tried by far. Cheers!

One of the better syrups I’ve tried for a Classic Old Fashioned. It requires refrigeration, but that’s not really a bad thing. It’s extremely easy to use for a truly decent drink … it couldn’t be easier. I mix it with Crown Royal for a really smooth drink, but my preference is using a good brandy for the “Wisconsin” version of the classic (and I’m from Texas!). I have tried the pre-measured packets, but prefer the control a bottled syrup provides. This one offers a really good blend of bitters, cherry and touch of orange. I can’t say it’s the most economical, but it provides the quality and taste I’m looking for. We’re all different - but this is definitely worth a try - grab a bottle.

Considering it comes in a bottle, the mix tastes very fresh, home made. 1/2oz makes really good drink.

Mixes great and cuts down the time to make a drink. Taste is exceptional.

The product itself is very good.. it has a good balance of flavor that makes for a tasty drink. The issue is the cap.. yes, the cap of the bottle. I have strong hands, and I could not budge it when first received. I had to use a channel lock pliers to get it loose. And even now, its not smooth and catches when you open it. Its a shame that such an inexpensive item mares a good product.

Exceptional tastel! Reasonably priced. Extremely easy to use; very concentrated. What’s more to like?
