Not So Simple Syrup {Pin It Party}

Shout to Lauren at
Hey Hey Designs for
the new ME <3

I've alluded to my new project but I haven't done my official.... HEY LOOK WHAT I'M DOING post. A lot is cooking over here and I saw this Pin It Party over at the Lean Green Bean and thought I'd use it as the motivation to gather myself together and do my launch post and maybe gather a Pin or two!

It's not secret I am in love with mixology. Well, my passion for the cocktail and never-ending propensity for invention led me to start Not So Simple Syrup. What started with infusing syrups for my own cocktails, evolved to perfecting them and sharing with friends or as treats at catering events. About a year ago I really set out to create all natural syrups that would make amazing mixed drinks as well as iced teas and non-alcoholic beverages that could be sold at my favorite stores.

I naturally asked my catering partner-in-crime, Barbie, to come along on the journey. It's been one big learning experience but like everyone has kept telling me.... "if it was easy EVERYONE would do it!" It's not easy, I have made it through the labyrinth of the Florida Department of Agriculture.... the FDA.... lab testing, bottling research, design, blood, sweat and tears.

Where are we today? We are a small, local maker of simple syrups that spend our days and nights looking for ways to help you transform your own drink creations. We use the highest quality ingredients, are permitted by the Florida Department of Agriculture as manufacturers and bottlers and work out of a commercial kitchen in Winter Park Florida. I personally test every batch individually, so you can trust every bottle of Not So Simple Syrup. And I'd like to share the few posts I have so far to celebrate our first orders shipping this week.

And starting next Tuesday [which just happens to be my BIRTHDAY!] the first of my Blogger reviews and GIVEAWAYS will be posted.... so keep an eye out!
