What is Monin Syrup?

It’s a constant challenge in our society to deliver new experiences, whether it’s an exciting new ride, a new band, or a new flavor. It’s so easy to get anything you want to eat, whenever you want that those unique flavors and culinary experiences are becoming rarer. Monin Syrup is a sweetener that many upscale coffee shops and bars use to flavor their beverages. It comes in a wide range of flavors, from blackberry to pomegranate to agave. It has several advantages over sugar. Most notably, when you pour it into a cold drink, it actually dissolves instead of seeping out to the bottom like sugar. There’s nothing worse than drinking the last of your sweet tea and having your mouth full of coagulated sugar. Since it dissolves so easily, you don’t have to use as much to get a great flavor. For this reason, many restaurants and other cocktail venues have begun using a Monin syrup dispenser to obtain this sweetener. It’s cheaper to use because a small serving goes a long way.

It’s also a healthier alternative to synthetic sweeteners or standard granular sugar. As you know, synthetic sweeteners can have health problems, such as liver damage and cancer. Also, many of the brands haven’t been on the market long enough to measure side effects. Standard sugar has been bleached and altered so much that it’s not much better for your body than synthetic brands. Monin only uses fresh fruit juices, spices, water and pure sugar. There is no fat or cholesterol in the mix. Monin syrup comes in a wide variety of flavors, each with its own sweetening method:

• Premium syrups and teas contain pure cane sugar

• Monin organic syrups contain evaporated cane juice

• Fruit sauces and purees contain cane sugar

• Agave nectar and organic agave are sweetened with organic agave nectar

• The honey sweetener, of course, is sweetened with pure honey.
