Beverage Innovation Director tips
I recommend marrying MONIN Lemongrass syrup with lime juice rather than lemon, which renders the lemongrass flavour sublime. White spirits such as gin or vodka and red berry flavours such as raspberry are the perfect match for this wonderful syrup. For an authentic Asian experience, you can also combine it with kaffir, mint or tamarin.
