A French syrup maker from Bourges
Monin was founded in 1912 by Georges Monin in Bourges, in central France. It is still a family business. The brand is known worldwide for its syrups: from fruit and herbs to spices and sugar. Bartenders use them for cocktails and mocktails, while baristas use them to add flavor to coffee, such as vanilla, caramel or hazelnut.
Syrup is sugar dissolved in water, with added flavor. Because it is so concentrated, you only need a small amount: usually 1 to 2 cl in a cocktail. Monin syrups are alcohol-free. The base syrup is Sucre de Canne, made from cane sugar and filtered water. In cocktails, it replaces sugar or homemade sugar syrup, and it dissolves immediately in cold drinks too.

Three ways to use Monin
Always start with a small amount and taste. Once a cocktail is too sweet, you can't bring it back into balance.

1 to 2 cl syrup in the shaker, together with the spirit, fresh citrus juice and ice. A fruit syrup can replace fresh fruit or a liqueur.
