Botanical Old Fashioned, Rooted in Nature
Old Root honors a timeless cocktail through the lens of herbal craftsmanship. Each ingredient enhances the whiskey’s depth without masking its character, blending warmth, spice, and brightness inspired by the botanicals we grow on our farm.
This kit combines the lively heat of ginger, the bright citrus of kumquat, and the layered aromatics of handcrafted bitters. Together, they transform the traditional Old Fashioned into something distinctly botanical, reflective of the land it came from and the hands that crafted it.
Organoleptic Notes Spicy • Citrus • Warm • Rooted

Unique gift!
This organic cocktail set would make a unique and thoughtful gift, especially for the amateur bartender in your life! I especially like the ginger syrup! It was boxed very nicely — ready for gifting — and I think the price is reasonable for the quality of what you get. I have no complaints and I feel confident recommending this to others based upon my own personal opinions, experience, tastes, and preferences. Five stars!

Customer Review
Fun and tasty kit!
This cocktail kit was a lot of fun! We tried the botanical lavender mist flavor and it was very good. It comes with the simple syrup, hydrosol, tincture, and a recipe card. You provide a few ingredients like the alcohol and lemon. The recipe card makes it easy to mix the drink. The kit was a fun, low stress experience to make a fancy drink. It would make a great date night activity and my spouse on I shared laughs and we whipped up the drink.I tried it both with alcohol and as a mocktail. It's advertised that it could be made as a mocktail, but I did not see instructions. Dropping the alcohol, you mostly drinking the simple syrup and lemon juice so I played with swapping the alcohol with club soda, lemon-lime soda, and even non-alcoholic gin I had on hand.The lavender simple syrup is very tasty and I've found it also works well in matcha lattes. It is recommended to refrigerate the syrup after opening.

Good for a cocktail party
The mix is interesting on first try. Having them as a set allows for some tweaking to preference. I find the syrup too sweet to my taste but can imagine someone liking it.It's expensive but also A LOT of mixer. The set could be very handy at a cocktail party than at a home setting. I'll recommend it for some office or home party or a gift for an advantous drinker.
