How do I use this mix to make a classic Old Fashioned?
Making a traditional Old Fashioned with Barsmith is quick and consistent: add the mix to your glass, stir in a measure of your favorite bourbon or rye, then add ice and a citrus twist. The mix is formulated to give balanced flavor without needing additional sweeteners or bitters for most palates. Adjust spirit weight or dilution to taste.
- Typical ratio: about 0.5–1 oz mix per 2 oz spirit (adjust to taste).
- Stir, don't shake, for a smoother texture and controlled dilution.
- Garnish with an orange peel or cocktail cherry to highlight citrus and cherry notes.
What ingredients are used and why do they matter?
Barsmith prioritizes simple, recognizable components like water, pure cane sugar and honey to build a smooth, natural sweetness. Natural flavors (including cherry and citrus) and vegetable juice for color give authentic tasting notes without artificial dyes. The formula is non-GMO, making it a good option for shoppers seeking cleaner-label cocktail mixers.
- Sweeteners: pure cane sugar plus honey for round, natural sweetness.
- Flavoring: natural cherry and citrus notes for classic Old Fashioned character.
- Coloring: vegetable juice, avoiding synthetic food dyes.
Can this mix be used for more than just Old Fashioneds?
Yes—the concentrated flavor profile works well across a variety of whiskey-based drinks and cocktail experiments. Use it to simplify high-volume pours at gatherings, to create riffed cocktails with soda or ginger beer, or to add depth to stirred spirit-forward recipes. It’s also handy for bartenders and home hosts who want consistent results with minimal prep.
- Mix with soda water for a lighter, long-style drink.
- Add a splash to a whiskey sour for extra sweetness and fruit complexity.
- Use as a bar-batched base for easier party service and consistent taste.
How should I store and care for the bottle?
Keep the bottle sealed and refrigerated after opening to preserve freshness and flavor intensity. Stored properly, the mix holds its character for multiple cocktails across many gatherings. Shake before use if natural separation occurs, and use a clean pourer for bar hygiene.
- Unopened: store in a cool, dark pantry away from heat.
- Opened: refrigerate and consume within a reasonable timeframe for best flavor.
- Shake gently before pouring if ingredients have settled.
