McCormick Culinary Imitation Coconut Extract, 16 fl oz — Bakery-Sized Clear Coconut Flavoring

McCormick Culinary Imitation Coconut Extract is a bakery-sized, 16 fl oz bottle of concentrated coconut flavoring designed to add a mild, sweet, tropical coconut note to baked goods, desserts, beverages and savory recipes.

This imitation coconut extract provides a consistent, transparent flavor boost that’s built for professional kitchens and high-volume baking. Formulated with propylene glycol, 21% alcohol, water and artificial flavors, the extract is gluten-free, kosher and made without added MSG. The 16-fluid-ounce bottle includes a flip-top closure for precision dispensing, plus an easy unscrew cap when larger quantities are needed for bulk batches.

How does this coconut extract perform in baking and pastry applications?

The extract is formulated to deliver a gentle, slightly nutty coconut character that blends cleanly into frostings, batters and confections without altering color. Because it’s transparent and concentrated, it enhances coconut notes in macaroons, buttercream and glaze while preserving the original texture of the recipe.

• Adds clear coconut flavor to white frostings and icings without discoloration
• Concentrated enough for batch-scale use—one bottle serves many recipes
• Mixes evenly into batters, fillings and candy bases for uniform taste
• Works in both hot and cold preparations, like custards and frozen desserts

Can I use this extract beyond desserts—what about savory or beverage recipes?

Yes. The imitation coconut extract brings a subtle tropical profile that complements sauces, marinades and craft drinks. It pairs well with citrus, pineapple, curry spices and rum or sake bases to broaden menu options without overpowering other components.

• Use sparingly in Thai-style sauces or coconut curries to lift flavor
• Add to syrups, punches and cocktails for consistent coconut notes
• Incorporate into marinades or glazes where a hint of sweetness is desirable
• Works in both alcohol-forward and nonalcoholic beverage recipes

What are the packaging and handling features restaurants and bakeries need to know?

The product comes in a 16-fluid-ounce bottle sized for commercial use, with a flip-top for controlled dispensing and a removable cap for bulk measurements. It has a long unopened shelf life when stored properly and is suitable for kitchens that must meet dietary labeling requirements.

• 16 fl oz bottle fits bakery and foodservice scale needs
• Flip-top for drop-by-drop dosing; unscrew cap for larger additions
• Gluten-free, kosher, and made without added MSG for labeling clarity
• Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place for optimal shelf life (keep away from direct heat and light)

Who is this for? McCormick Culinary Imitation Coconut Extract is aimed at pastry chefs, bakers, beverage developers and commercial kitchens seeking a dependable, affordable coconut flavoring that scales. It’s a practical choice for anyone producing consistent large quantities of cakes, icings, candies, frozen desserts, cocktails or ethnic dishes that benefit from a mild coconut accent—especially operations that require gluten-free and kosher-friendly ingredients. Keep the bottle on hand for recipe development, seasonal menus or daily production when you need a reliable coconut profile at volume.
