The tart flavour of cranberry is the base for many classic cocktails such as the ‘Cosmopolitan’ and the ‘Americano’.
The fruit of a low shrub or trailing vine, the cranberry favours acidic, boggy soil and cooler climates. Native Americans were the first to eat cranberries, so-called because the flower resembles the neck, head and bill of a crane. The USA and Canada are now the main cranberry producers.
Famed for their acidic, sweet flavour and pretty colour, cranberries are harvested in late Autumn. They have become a festive flavour associated with Thanksgiving and Christmas , when cranberry sauce is traditionally eaten as an accompaniment to roast turkey. Around 95% of cranberries are made into juice, sauce or sweetened dried cranberries.
MONIN Cranberry syrup delivers the vibrant red of the berry and the perfect balance of tart and sweet for creating vibrant, taste bud-tingling cocktails, sodas, teas and martinis

One of the best-selling flavours in Germany because of the popularity of the Hugo cocktail, MONIN Elder flower Syrup delivers the fragrant aroma and tart, juicy flavour of these creamy-white flowers.
Often consumed as a cordial or a liqueur, both are crafted from the flowers of the Elder or Elderberry tree, commonly found in the English countryside. The English saying goes that summer is not here until the Elder is fully in flower and that it is at an end when the berries are ripe.
Simply add MONIN Elder flower to champagne, mix in a white spirit based cocktail or with fruit juices for aromatic, summery refreshers.
ColourLight gold.
Tasting notesStrong floral smell with honey notes; distinctive, tart and juicy taste.
Beverage Innovation Directors tipsThe fragrant flowers of the elder tree make this MONIN flavour unique and elegant. It can be used to make refreshing summer drinks. Try to combine it with cranberry juice and you will have an exciting summer refresher.

Grenadine is by far the most common and versatile sweetener and flavouring in classic bar mixology. As hard as it is to believe, it has nothing similar with pomegranate syrup. Many cocktails contain Grenadine. It imparts a nice red colour and sweet, slightly tart taste that is very popular by children and adults. MONIN Grenadine syrup presents a flavour of red berries with a touch of vanilla and a bright red colour to enhance non alcoholic beverages, cocktails and even desserts, marinades, and several other recipes.
ColourBrilliant red with orangey glints.
Tasting notesSlightly acidic taste, subtle combination between the roundness of vanilla and the tartness of red berries.
Beverage Innovation Directors tipsFrom a Shirley Temple to Tequila Sunrise, a lot of classics use grenadine syrup for the deep red colour it gives. I like to use it in flavoured sodas in complement to a fruit flavour as for example MONIN Passion Fruit syrup. This sweet gives a fresh feeling.

The nut from the coconut palm tree, the coconut is native to more than 80 tropical and sub-tropical countries such as Indonesia, India and Thailand, where it is considered indispensable. In fact, in several different languages the name for the coconut palm means that all parts of the tree are useful in some way.
An extremely versatile flavour, its intense, sweet flavour goes well with sweet, bitter and salty flavours. As well as having many culinary uses, coconut is used in beauty products because coconut oil is an excellent moisturiser.
Enjoy a taste of the tropics by adding MONIN Coconut syrup to cocktails, coffees, smoothies and fruit punches and drift away to the shade of a coconut palm…
ColourCloudy white.
Tasting notesVery intense, concentrate and long-lasting taste of grated coconut which carries you away to tropics, under coconut palms…Aftertaste a bit caramelized.
Beverage Innovation Directors tipsMONIN Coconut syrup fits perfectly with other exotic flavours especially pineapple. One of my favourite uses is to mix it with MONIN Butterscotch syrup in order to reinforce the round taste of MONIN Coconut syrup.
