Brand Bios: Strongwater

Cocktail syrups, bitters, and sparkling mixers inspired by tradition and flavored with botanical herbs for an elevated cocktail experience

A chemist, an herbalist, and a mixologist walk into a bar…

Strongwater makes a line of cocktail syrups, bitters, and mixers that turn a home bar into an upscale cocktail lounge. Their line includes unique takes on classics like their award-winning old fashioned syrup and French Quarter inspired creole bitters. They also have a few different bitters that include CBD (we favor the aromatic). These aren’t just mixers; they’re alchemical. An homage to the rich history of spirits. Even the name ‘Strongwater’ comes from shops that used spirits as healing medicine back in the 16th century.

Drawing inspiration from both these old ways of living and the Colorado mountains where Strongwater calls home, they crafted their line of bitters, syrups, and sparkling mixers to “heal the soul and spruce up your cocktail.” They’re made with real ingredients, infused with botanical herbs, and transform a generic homespun after-work drink at home into an elevated cocktail experience. 

Strongwater leans into their traditional influence by using old-world production methods, and experiments with their bold flavors to really bring the 16th century strongwater shop into a 21st century bar. It’s easy to see how each discipline plays into the exquisite quality of Strongwater products. Herbalism lends to a deeper understanding and selection of plant ingredients, mixology fuses new flavors into classic profiles, and chemistry influences and tweaks the manufacturing process. So, when a chemist, an herbalist, and a mixologist walk into a bar… the end result is a perfect blend of tradition and modernism, unique spins on classic profiles, strong and bold flavors.
