Origin
It all started with orange… MONIN Orange syrup was the very first syrup flavour to be launched as part of the citrus range of flavours.
Probably a hybrid of the pomelo and mandarin, originating from ancient China, Orange is one of the most widely loved fruits for its sweet, tart, juicy flavour and fresh aroma. Like most citrus fruit, it is best eaten fresh or juiced.
Orange flavoured products include marmalade, which is usually made with Seville oranges, and orange blossom honey. The zest is commonly used in cooking and baking, as it goes particularly well with duck and chocolate.
A sweet, acidic syrup MONIN Orange is best used to make non-milk based drinks such as refreshing, zesty sodas, cocktails and teas.
Colour
Slightly cloudy gold.
Tasting notes
Orange peel smell, candied orange taste.
Beverage Innovation Directors tips
As MONIN Orange is an acidic syrup you can’t steam it with milk, it would curdle. You can however combine it with a dash of cranberry and grapefruit juice in a vodka martini.
