History in the Mixing
1934: a year of big firsts. Franklin Roosevelt was in his first term as President. Babe Ruth became the first Major League Baseball player to hit 700 home runs. After 19 long years of Prohibition, alcohol was first served legally again to a thirsty American public. ⠀
And on North Clark Street in Chicago, Collins Brothers first opened its doors to sell a simple metal bottle opener and homemade grenadine.⠀
For more than 80 years, Collins Brothers has expanded to provide the mixers, garnishes, and syrups that imbue American cocktails with their iconic flavor. We're honored to offer a taste of history in every sip.⠀
