Bittermilk No.1 Single Serve Old Fashioned Mix is a bartender-crafted, bourbon-barrel aged cocktail syrup in 0.5 oz vials that make one perfectly balanced Old Fashioned per dose.
This compact 5-pack is designed for cocktail lovers who want bartender-quality Old Fashioned flavor without the fuss. Each single-serve vial contains a concentrated blend of burnt cane sugar, gentian root, cinchona bark, and orange peel that’s been barrel-aged in once-used Willett bourbon barrels. It pairs with 2 oz of your favorite aged spirit to deliver consistent, complex results whether you're at home, traveling, or hosting guests.
How do I use a single-serve vial to make an Old Fashioned?
Making an Old Fashioned with a Bittermilk No.1 vial is fast and repeatable: pour the vial into a mixing glass or tumbler, add 2 oz of bourbon or rye, stir with ice, and strain over a large cube or serve over ice. No measured syrups or muddling required — the single dose is formulated for a balance that suits most spirits.
- Use one 0.5 oz vial per 2 oz spirit (bourbon, rye, aged rum, or scotch).
- Stir with ice 20–30 seconds for proper dilution and chill.
- Garnish with an orange twist or cherry as desired.
- Serve neat over a large ice cube or on the rocks.
What flavor profile can I expect from Bittermilk No.1?
No.1 offers a rich, layered profile: caramelized burnt sugar, subtle citrus oils, and measured bittering agents that bring depth without harshness. Barrel aging in spent bourbon casks adds toasted oak and warm spice notes that complement darker spirits.
- Burnt golden cane sugar provides sweet, toffee-like base notes.
- Fresh orange peel gives bright citrus lift.
- Gentian root and cinchona supply refined bitter complexity.
- Bourbon-barrel aging introduces caramel, char, and oak nuances.
Why choose Bittermilk single-serve over homemade syrups or other mixes?
Single-serve vials save time, reduce measuring errors, and ensure the same flavor each pour. Because these are crafted by bartenders using real ingredients and barrel aging, they provide a premium, shelf-stable alternative to homemade syrups and many mass-market mixes.
- Pre-measured for consistency and convenience.
- Barrel aging adds complexity not present in standard syrups.
- No artificial ingredients—real botanicals and cane sugar used.
- Portable format for travel, gifts, or on-the-go cocktails.
How should I store and use the vials for best results?
Store unopened vials at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Once opened, use immediately for best aroma and freshness; the single-serve format eliminates the need to refrigerate multi-use bottles.
- Keep sealed vials in a cool, dark place until use.
- Use each vial in one cocktail—designed for single-use freshness.
- Pair with 2 oz of spirit and stir for about 20–30 seconds with ice.
- Dispose of vial after use or recycle if local guidelines allow.
Who is this for?
