Camping Cocktails
The bar, at the trailhead.
Camping cocktails usually mean a warm canned thing or a flask of whatever, because the cooler has room for ice and beer, not a bottle of syrup, a jar of bitters, an orange, and a jigger. One Still Branch packet plus 2 ounces of bourbon and whatever ice you packed makes a real Old Fashioned at the campsite, on the river, or at the trailhead. Camping cocktails get to taste like the bar again.
It lives in your jacket.
Cans are heavy, they have to stay cold, and they lock you into one recipe at one strength. A Still Branch packet weighs almost nothing, survives a backpack, and pours into whatever cup you've got. You bring the whiskey you actually like.
Each packet is measured to exact bar spec, so the drink you build on day three of a trip tastes the same as the one at home. The packets hold up for 12 months in a pack or a glovebox, so a box just lives in your gear, ready whenever camping cocktails come up.
The Old Fashioned is a sturdy, spirit-forward drink, which is exactly what you want outdoors. It doesn't lean on fresh citrus or soda to work. Whiskey, ice, one packet, stir.
Why it works outdoors
No cooler needed
Packets need no refrigeration and keep 12 months, so they live happily in a pack, cooler, or glovebox all season.
Packs to nothing
Sealed single-serve packets weigh almost nothing and fit in a jacket pocket or a dry bag. Toss in a few extra for the group.
Award-winning recipe
Your camping cocktails come out of a packet that won 8 awards from 4 judging bodies, including SIP Awards Platinum 2024. A classic with over a century of history.
Forgives rough conditions
Warm whiskey, half-melted ice, a dented camp mug: none of it wrecks the drink, because the balance is already locked into the packet.
How to make camping cocktails
The box is 14 packets, so one box covers a long weekend with friends and still leaves some in the glovebox for the next trip. At 28 calories a packet, real ingredients, kettle-made in Portland, Oregon.
Pour the packet
One packet into a cup, mug, or whatever you've got.
Add whiskey
2 ounces of bourbon, rye, or whiskey.
Add ice, stir
Ice if you've got it, stir 30 seconds. No ice? It drinks well closer to neat.
Pass it around
Build the next one. The balance is the same every time.
