About Proof Syrup

Proof Syrup began at a craft cocktail bar we used to own in Decatur, Georgia. We wanted a way to create Old Fashioneds quickly and easily, with authentic ingredients, and to do that we created a syrup containing the sugar, bitters, and citrus oils that give that classic cocktail its characteristic flavors. Our customers loved it. Given its popularity at the bar, we figured we could probably sell our Old Fashioned syrup as a standalone product — so our customers could enjoy the same craft cocktail experience at home. (To be honest, quick, easy craft cocktails at home sounded pretty awesome to us, too.) In 2014 we bottled our first three flavors: Traditional, Maple Bacon, and Pecan. By 2021, we were producing 16 cocktail syrups with flavor profiles ranging from citrusy to savory to nutty to botanical. We've grown a lot, but we still mix, cook, and bottle every batch of Proof Syrup by hand, in a facility in our hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Our goal remains the same as it was in 2014: to celebrate classic, timeless recipes by inspiring home bartenders to craft their own cocktails any time, anywhere. Ingredient Philosophy: We’re firm believers that our customers deserve the best. That’s why we only use the best ingredients available, like Angostura bitters, top-quality citrus oils, and organic cane sugar. We source the finest, freshest all-natural ingredients from sources we trust.Read their story
