What happens when a 200+ year legacy meets a passionate team behind the scenes? Something new gets created. Over the last several months, our Mizkan America team has been working closely with our partners at ANGOSTURA to bring a natural next step in their story to life, expanding beyond bitters into premium cocktail syrups. Now, it’s here. Introducing: 🟤 Demerara Sugar Syrup – rich, deep, and made for classics like the Old Fashioned 🌶️ Spicy Honey Syrup – bold, balanced, and perfect for today’s favorite spicy cocktails This launch is more than new products on a shelf. It’s the result of collaboration across teams, across companies, and across a shared commitment to quality and flavor. From our brand, sales, and commercialization teams to our partners at Angostura, this was truly a joint effort to bring something meaningful (and delicious) to bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts alike. We’re proud of the role our people played in helping evolve such an iconic brand, and even more excited to see where this partnership goes next. Cheers to what we can build together. #MizkanAmerica #ANGOSTURA #Partnership #PeopleBehindTheBrand #BringingFlavorToLife #CocktailCulture
