Product Description

Stirrings Old Fashioned Cocktail Mix: Just Add Whiskey

Stirrings Old Fashioned Mix is a non-alcoholic cocktail mixer that turns a bottle of bourbon, rye, or Scotch into an Old Fashioned in seconds. Instead of muddling sugar cubes, oranges, and cherries, you pour the mix. It’s a blend of real orange juice, cherry juice, and pure cane sugar, with no artificial preservatives. The brand’s tagline for it is “Real Juice. Low Calories. No Artificial Preservatives.” It’s the easy way to make the classic cocktail at home with consistent results every time.

The mix contains no alcohol. You supply the whiskey, which means you choose the spirit and the strength. It’s also a good fit for batching, for parties, and for anyone who wants a quick Old Fashioned on a weeknight.

What’s in the Bottle

According to the brand, the ingredients are water, cane sugar, orange juice from concentrate, cherry juice from concentrate, natural flavors, citric acid, and fruit and vegetable juice for color. It’s kosher and vegan, per retailers. Per 2-ounce serving, the label shows 60 calories, 15g of carbohydrate, and 15g of sugar, including 14g of added sugar.

How Many Drinks?

A 750ml bottle holds about 13 two-ounce servings. Stirrings’ recipe is 2 oz of mix to 2 oz of whiskey, so one bottle makes about 13 cocktails.

Tasting Notes

Color: Deep red-amber.
