Maple Syrup: Krampus Hickory Smoke & Orange™

Syrup as Dark as your Soul!: Krampus Hickory Smoke & Orange Maple Syrup™

Dare to discover the darker side of holiday flavors with our Krampus Hickory Smoke & Orange Maple Syrup™. This seasonal delicacy draws inspiration from the legendary Alpine figure of Krampus, a creature known for both his fearsome demeanor and his role in the festive traditions of winter. This unique syrup combines the robust, smoky notes of hickory with the bright zest of orange, all enriched by the natural sweetness of Vermont maple syrup.

The Myth Behind the Blend Krampus, often depicted as a counterpart to St. Nicholas during the holiday season, embodies the balance of shadow and light in winter festivities. Our syrup captures this intriguing duality by melding the depth of hickory smoke with the lively brightness of orange, creating a flavor profile that is both invigorating and warming.

A Seasonal Sensation in Every Drop Perfect for adding a touch of mystery to your winter celebrations, Krampus Hickory Smoke & Orange Maple Syrup™ is ideal for holiday cocktails, cozy breakfasts, or as a unique glaze for seasonal dishes. It invites you to explore the unexpected, adding a smoky sweetness that’s as delightful as it is surprising.
