Invigorating cocktails were on the menu. Handmade orgeat. Orange bitters. A grenadine that straddled the line between tart, sweet, and rich – made from scratch, sourced with obsessive detail, built to produce the perfect cocktail. Or so Blair Reynolds intended.

Then a one-time bartender sidled up to the bar, ordered a gimlet, and spilled. It’s next to impossible, they lamented, to make cocktail ingredients by hand, night after night, to the standard obsessives demand. Dozens of burned batches. Erratic ginger, cinnamon, and everything else essential. Frustration curdling into resignation that perfection would always take a backseat to ease.

For Reynolds, a light switched on.

Within months, BG Reynolds was born – an original orgeat made with real almonds, cane sugar, and weeks of high-spirited research and tasting, built to hit a bartender’s standard every time. Grenadine followed. Cinnamon. Falernum. Passion Fruit. House-made syrups by a bartender, for bartenders – and for devout home mixologists, seasoned drinkers, and brand-new converts too. Real ingredients, painstakingly sourced, balanced for refreshing, authentic cocktails. Again, and again, and again.
