Origin
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.

An old time cocktail classic, Blue Curaçao is known for its deep blue colour, tart orange flavour and tropical credentials.
Flavoured with the dry peel of the green oranges, which are descended from Valencia oranges, from the West Indian Island of Curaçao, this liqueur embodies this tropical island paradise with its beaches and coral reefs. Discovered by accident, the drink was originally marketed by a Spanish family from Curacao in the 19th century.
The amazing deep blue of MONIN Blue Curaçao syrup evokes the sea lapping the beautiful Curacao beaches and adds an exotic touch to cocktails and sodas with its aromatic orange peel scent and candy bitter taste.
Meaning caramelized sugar, caramel is made by melting sugar in water to create a rich, sweet, glutinous liquid which ranges in colour from beige to amber to dark brown. Used as a single flavour in the form of a sweet or in puddings, desserts, cakes and biscuits, caramel also combines well with other flavours such as fruits.
A must-stock, MONIN Caramel syrup is one of the most popular and versatile flavours in the MONIN range. This golden amber coloured syrup can be used to create sweet coffees, teas and chocolates, comforting dessert cocktails, vodka shots or simply drizzled over ice cream.
ColourDark amber with copper yellow glints.
Tasting notesPowerful, deep smell and very specific burnt caramel flavour.
Beverage Innovation Directors tipsMONIN Caramel syrup fits perfectly with fruit flavours such as with MONIN Apple or Pear in coffee applications. One of my favourite uses is to combine it with MONIN Lemon Pie syrup for a perfectly balanced milkshake.
