Runamok adds Sparkle to Maple Tonic for Summer's best cocktail

Specialty Food Association

Sparkle Tonic, Star Spangled Sparkle Syrup, and Hot Honeys add to Runamok’s collection of specialty food products for the season

Fairfax, Vt. (June, 2022) – Specialty food brand, Runamok, brings their trend-setting, modern line of organic maple syrups, honeys, cocktail mixers and bitters to New York’s Summer Fancy Food Show. Their booth (#6938) will highlight:

  • Newly released bright and shimmery Sparkle Tonic Cocktail Mixer;
  • Seasonal favorite Star Spangled Sparkle Syrup for summer celebrations;
  • Swicy trend’s key ingredient, hot honey, using distinctive flavors such as Szechuan Peppercorn, Chipotle Morita, and Chile De Arbol chili pepper.

Joining Runamok’s line of 2022 Good Food Award winning maple cocktail mixers and bitters, the limited release of Sparkle Tonic will add shimmer to celebratory summer cocktails and mocktails. Sparkle Tonic cocktail mixer offers a balanced and refreshing flavor of distinctive quinine extract, a hint of full-bodied maple, zesty lime, and signature sparkles of pearlescent mica. Mixed with seltzer and a favorite gin, vodka, or tequila, it is both versatile and in vogue. Runamok’s full line of cocktail mixers include Maple Old Fashioned, Smoked Old Fashioned, Maple Ginger Mule, and Maple Tonic.

Fan-favorite, Sparkle Syrup, is dressed up as Star Spangled Sparkle Syrup in time for Fourth of July BBQs and summer celebrations. Met with rave reviews since 2020, this limited release maple syrup is a thoughtful host gift, the perfect topping to that extra-special breakfast at the beach house, or to add to patio cocktails as a festive sweetener.

Rounding out Runamok’s Fancy Food Show highlights are “swicy” hot honeys. Combining sweet and spicy in a unique flavor profile, Runamok’s hot honey flavor infusions answer the call as a glaze for a pork roast, drizzled over fried chicken, or in a bold margarita. Like its maple syrups, Runamok focuses on all-natural, regionally-sourced products in its carefully curated lineup of honey varieties. Runamok’s collection of hot flavor profiles include: Szechuan Peppercorn Infused Honey, Chipotle Morita Infused Honey, and Chile de Arbol Infused Honey; as well as a Merquén Smoked Chili Pepper Infused Maple Syrup.

Runamok’s full collection is available at runamokmaple.com. Select products can also be found  in specialty food stores nationwide and on Amazon.
