RUNAMOK FOCUSES ON BETTER-QUALITY INGREDIENTS FOR ALL YOUR BEVERAGE NEEDS

Mixers, bitters, and maple syrups with naturally occurring sweeteners for a better-for-you cocktail culture

Fairfax, Vt. (June 2023) – Runamok is returning to this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show, where they will be showcasing their all-new Maple Grenadine Mixer. Pomegranate, lime, and Vermont maple syrup are perfectly balanced making this beautiful jewel-toned grenadine the ideal sweet-tart addition to all of your favorite cocktails, mocktails, spritzers, and more – they use real fruit juice the way grenadine was traditionally made before Red 40, Blue 1, and High Fructose Corn Syrup took over nutrition fact panels.

“At Runamok, we are passionate about introducing customers to more delicious ways to incorporate high-quality, natural sweeteners into their food and drinks,” said Laura Sorkin, co-founder of Runamok. “Which is why we are so excited about the addition of our new Maple Grenadine Mixer to our growing cocktail and non-alcoholic cocktail lineup. We saw an opportunity to bring a fresh take  to this classic mixer.”

Runamok is no stranger to fun and innovative flavors, including Pineapple Upside Down Maple Syrup and the newest product addition, Saffron Infused Honey, which sources its saffron from Calabash Gardens, a Black and Woman owned regenerative agriculture saffron farm in Vermont. Along with creative flavor profiles, Runamok has dived into cocktail culture with a variety of maple-based mixers and bitters for the modern bar.

Their booth (#445) will also highlight Sparkle Tonic, a combination of Runamok’s fan-favorite Maple Tonic and sparkles, Maple Bitters, featuring aromatic florals, and their 2023 Good Food Award winner WhistlePig® Rye Whiskey Barrel-aged Maple Syrup.
