These new Monin syrups have been announced by the UK-based syrup supplier as a series of experimental, foodie-driven products perfect for helping to elevate a variety of refreshments.
The syrups come in two varieties including Maple Pecan Pie and Hot Honey, which are each intended to address increasing consumer demand for experimental flavor experiences. The Maple Pecan Pie syrup will catch the attention of nostalgic foodies seeking to enjoy the flavor experiences of their childhood, while Hot Honey takes a modern approach to sweet and spicy (AKA swicy) tastes.
Beverage Expert Tony Kousoulou spoke on the new Monin syrups saying, "Operators are looking for flavours that feel bold but familiar, and that work across multiple dayparts. Hot honey gives bartenders and baristas a way to add complexity to cocktails, iced drinks and simple serves without adding operational complexity."
