Monin's highly concentrated syrups are an ingenious invention of the French company of the same name, whose motto “Passion for quality” speaks volumes. They very quickly won the sympathy of gourmets due to the unsurpassed taste characteristics of the products. Just a couple of drops of syrup are enough, and the drink turns into a masterpiece.
Variety of flavors of Monin syrups
The Monin company, which has been operating since the beginning of the 20th century, is an unattainable leader in the production of thick syrups. The secret of this success is simple - the company uses only the highest quality products that pass the strictest checks in specially equipped laboratories, and no preservatives. The collection of aromas of Monin syrups is constantly growing. Today it has over a hundred items.
Monin Premium are the highest concentration syrups. Monin Keddy is a cheaper variant of the same flavors, but not as high in content. Rather, they are additional flavors for coffee, baked goods, chocolate or ice cream. The company recently launched Monin SugarFree with fructose instead of sugar, which diabetics and dieters can enjoy without harm.
Monin's fruity and floral "libraries" of fragrances make up the majority of the product range. They include both quite familiar options like apple, orange, apricot, strawberry, plum, lavender, raspberry, watermelon, melon, banana, black currant and even elderberry, and exotic - lemongrass, guava, kiwi, Sicilian orange, rose.
The Monin collection also includes a nut line (almonds, macadamia, hazelnuts, pistachio, etc.), a confectionery (chocolate, honey, praline, tiramisu, bubble gum, crème brulee, sweet and salty caramel, etc.), a line of spices (basil, cardamom, ginger, anise, cinnamon, tarragon, etc.) and, of course, alcohol (mojito, amaretto, blue curacao, gin, tequila, whiskey, caipirinha, etc.). Syrups are consumed quite sparingly, which compensates for their rather high price.
Applications for Monin Syrups
The most common uses for Monin syrups are cocktails and soft drinks. You don't need to be a bartender to get a glass of the finest drink, you just need to have a bottle in the kitchen with the inscription "Monin". 10-30 ml of its contents are diluted with fresh juice, energy drink, milk, tea or alcohol. Here is one of the most popular recipes - mix 10 ml of strawberry and 30 ml of watermelon syrup with 30 ml of vodka and 60 ml of cranberry juice. To make lemonade, dissolve 7-8 times less syrup in the required amount of plain or carbonated water.
Coffee or tea becomes magical if you pour a few drops of Monin into a cup. However, it should be borne in mind that not every taste is suitable in this case, other syrups can simply curl up when in contact with boiling water, milk or cream. That is why the company has identified a special direction for coffee or tea gourmets, which includes most of the aromas of the nut, confectionery lines, as well as the flavors of alcohol and spices. When creating a drink, some points should be taken into account: for an espresso, you need no more than 5 ml of syrup, a latte or cappuccino - 20-30 ml, and for a coffee cocktail - 30 ml. In addition, it must be remembered that fructose syrups have a more pronounced sweetness, which means they should be used in a lower dosage.
