Americans have all manner of fun things to drink. Coca Cola was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and few things satisfy on a hot summer day as a cold glass of sweet tea (or to be more correct, a cold glass of tea, as any southerner knows the “sweet” is implied). University of Florida scientists invented Gatorade in 1965 to help keep football players from collapsing on the field, and brewers rode out the Prohibition by switching operations to the production of rootbeer (the platonic ideal of which hails from Fitz’s in our very own Saint Louis, Missouri). Nothing says American entrepreneurship like kids selling cups of lemonade out in the front yard, and our State Fair Lemonade uses fresh-squeezed lemon juice as well as lemon oil from macerating the peels in sugar for a double-dose of lemony goodness. And how about topping off a tall glass of peach tea with a splash of candied jalapeño syrup and soda?
And to help you make that perfect cocktail, Shubie’s is now bottling our famous Oh, Dang! Jalapeño Cocktail Syrup. Check out below for cocktail recipes and inspirations…
So yeah, we got drinks, and we at Shubie’s are dedicated to the art - nay, the passion - of coming up with fun things with which to whet one’s whistle.
