Up your cocktail game for the holidays with Portland craft syrups! I needed a change from beer, so I looked around and found these amazing syrups. They work well as they are or added to SodaStream, so you can make kiddie cocktails for the young'ens during the holidays. PRO TIP: the Spicy Ginger is great for Moscow or Kentucky Mules, and I'm really digging the Spiced Cranberry, which may be seasonal so grab it now.
