Unique Cocktails by NOSTRUM

Whether you’re looking to impress company or sipping solo, we’ve rounded up our favorite lineup of unique cocktails for you to study and savor this season. In true Mavryk fashion, we’d like to showcase an array of cocktail styles — from tiki-inspired to nightcap-worthy flavors from our friends at Nostrum.

Nostrum shrubs are fruity, herbaceous, sweet, and tart. Used in small amounts (1oz or less) they provide a depth of flavor and color unlike any other commercial syrup or mixer; making them a delicious substitute to flavor cocktails and sodas. They also make killer salad dressing and culinary sauces. Naturally preserved with organic apple cider vinegar, they cut corners without cutting quality.

Let us waste no time...
