Don's Mix Syrup
Don Beach was a famous American bartender in the 1930's who created some of the most well known cocktails today. He was also famously secretaive about his recipes. Only due to the dectivie work of cocktail writer and bartender Jeff Berry do we have any idea what made up his famous cocktail the Zombie.
This syrup is a combination of grapefruit and cinnamon, but like the great Don himself, we have are own secrets within this recipe that make it perfect for the drink. You can use this syrup anywhere that calls for Simple Sugar Syrup to create a fruity, spiced twist. We use it for both our Blended Zombie and our shaken Zombie cocktail.
We create the syrup to be at a 50° Brix for consistency and ease of use.
We don’t use any preservatives or additives in our products, and although it should last a very long time, it’s best used within two weeks. Keep it refrigerated for optimal quality. Discard if it turns cloudy, changes colour or begins to ferment.
Packaging
Sold in a 750ml clear glass wine bottle with minimal labels.
We try and keep our labels to the bare necessities so your product looks something made in house and not recognisable by customers.
We also try and reuse bottles whenever we can, after a thorough cleaning first! We will happily take back any bottles and accept any clear, screw-cap style wine bottles you have spare. It helps keep our prices low and it does that little bit for the environment. That’s a win-win.
Seasonal Differences
We do not use artificial colouring, so colours and flavours may change slightly with the seasons. We do our best to keep it looking consistent but nature has a way of doing what it wants.
Storage and Use
All of our products are small batch, made to order and preservative-free, so they are best kept refrigerated and ideally used within two to four weeks, depending on the product, for the best flavour and quality. Always check the best-before date before use.
