Root 23 ~ Farmers Market Cocktails Gift Set

Got this for a friend's birthday and she loved them. The cucumber habanero is especially nice!(I gave the set as a whole but these would be amazing split up into cute gift packs with a bottle of something to accompany!)

Love these!! They're well-balanced in flavor, the flavor mixtures work well together, not overpowering, but strong enough to taste when mixed in a drink. The bottle labels list several suggestions for alcohol the syrups work well with, though you can be creative and try them with something else; as well as toppers (tonic, ginger beer, lime, etc.) to finish the cocktail. The suggestions are spot on and a great feature if you are learning mixology or want to set up a nice bar for cocktail hour with some friends. You can come off as very knowledgeable and treat everyone to some delicious flavor mixes without having to guess or worry they won't taste good. Great also just to keep in the bar as a sure fire addition to your drink options.The bottles and labeling are attractive and have a nice character, fit well in the hand and are easy to pour and to store and the lids fit tightly. Very good bottling.Found them in my local grocery store, bottles and flavors looked interesting and I decided to give them a try. Got the Pear/Rosemary first and tried it with some Pisco and some Tangueray and it was a perfect mix. I've never tried flavored simple syrup as a mixer, but I'm sold! Gotta try them with other alcohol mixes and some non-alcoholic drinks. BTW, also was great with tequila.My only request to the makers would be to list the items on Amazon as a group of single items so they can be mixed and matched according to individual interest and taste. For me, the Cucumber/Habanero and the Grapefruit/Basil weren't my favorite, not because they weren't good, they're just not to my taste, personally. But I got creative and mixed them together and liked the result. And if you like a bit of heat or bitter flavor, they definitely are a good choice on their own. There are more flavors available online than in my local store, but I can't get the grouping I'd like: Pear/Rosemary, Cherry/Almond, Maple/Cinnamon, Vanilla/Ginger, Blueberry/Mint. I'm left having to buy flavors I don't want just to get the ones I want to try. If the makers want to sale four at a time, they could make the minimum purchase 4, but allow the customer to mix and match as they like.But, that aside, I'm definitely buying some more. They also use organic cane sugar if that makes a difference to anyone reading this.
