Ryan Manning has a long history of pleasing imbibers. After years of tending bar, managing bar programs, and consulting for local hot spots, Ryan made the move from late nights behind the bar to early mornings in the kitchen. Today, he is making some of the most lush and utterly crave-able hand made syrups we’ve ever tasted. After a rigorous and literal blind tasting of his orgeat alone (this one is opaque enough to be a dead giveaway on sight alone) compared against others on the market, we knew we had found our very own Bardaddy.
