Love a good cocktail but struggle to find mixers worthy of your top-shelf hooch? Consider Quince & Apple, the Madison, Wis.-based producer of syrups and preserves.

 

 

We love the undertones of ginger, orange and bay that make these spoonable preserves so great with smoked meats, duck, pork chops and sharp cheeses.

A cheese board without Quince and Apple’s Pear with Honey and Ginger spread is like a Yorkie without a bow: a tad underdressed.

 

 

Up your Thanksgiving condiment game. [Shallot Confit and Red Wine], here red wine adds depth and acid to sweet, slow-cooked shallots. 

 

 

Use the flavored simple syrups for something sweet, something savory or something totally sippable.

Terrific for pairing with cheese or grilled meats.

 

 

Quince & Apple’s new rhubarb-hops syrup is almost too usable…Good luck keeping this one on the shelf.

 

 

[Figs and Black Tea is] uniquely interesting with magnificent chunks of fresh fig and back notes of slow-brewed black tea. Just a touch of sugar and lemon juice provides balance and the right amount of sweetness, keeping its applications versatile.
