Craft cocktails with ease
The craft cocktail mixers take the guess work out of making a perfect cocktail.
If you have come to love finely crafted cocktails but aren't quite motivated to do the work to reproduce them at home, these mixers will fill in for your favorite mixologist. No, they are not cheap, but if you are hankering for a perfectly balanced bittersweet old-fashioned after a long day at work, or a smoky whiskey sour on the back deck, these bottles will take care of you. I especially loved the Charred Grapefruit Tonic, which I added to a tall glass with shot of gin and a splash of seltzer and a lot of ice for a perfect, citrusy summer cocktail.
