Exciting things are happening in Greeley’s craft drink scene, and more people are noticing. Colorado.com recently listed Syntax Spirits Distillery and Cocktail Bar as one of the top distilleries in Colorado, but locals already know this place is special.
Syntax Spirits is inside the historic Greeley Elevator Building. They mix science, creativity and Colorado-grown ingredients into every drink. Their team, led by Heather Bean with strong science backgrounds, pays close attention to every detail. You can taste their hard work in every spirit they make.
Syntax stands out for its commitment to local ingredients. Most of their spirits are made with Colorado grains and clean water from the Cache la Poudre River. Even their cocktails use herbs and vegetables grown in their own garden.
One drink that surprises people? The Beetnik -- a patron fave made with Syntax vodka, a beet-dill mix, fresh lime juice and a salt and pepper rim. It’s an unexpected mix that works well together, and just one example of the team’s creative offerings.
Being noticed across Colorado is a big deal. For Greeley, it’s part of a bigger story. Our town has many places making unique things, like great cocktails, special spirits or experiences you can’t find anywhere else.
