Monin Toasted Coconut Syrup 1 L — 2026 Flavor of the Year, toasted nutty coconut for coffee & cocktails

Introduced as Monin's 2026 Flavor of the Year, this Toasted Coconut Syrup captures the warm, nutty character of gently browned coconut without relying on canned coconut water notes. It's formulated to be flexible across hot and cold beverages as well as food applications, delivering a layered, slightly savory sweetness that enhances barista drinks, craft cocktails, mocktails, and kitchen creations.

How does Monin Toasted Coconut Syrup improve everyday coffee and espresso drinks?

Added to lattes, cappuccinos, or cold brews, this syrup provides a rounded coconut creaminess with subtle roasted undertones that play nicely against espresso's bitterness. It blends smoothly with dairy and plant milks and retains flavor in iced drinks without becoming cloying.

• Use 15–30 ml per 240 ml latte for pronounced coconut flavor.
• Pairs well with caramel, vanilla, or toasted almond syrups for layered profiles.
• Works cold or steamed—won't separate in milk or foam.

What makes this syrup a good match for cocktails and mocktails?

The toasted coconut profile gives cocktails a more sophisticated coconut note than plain coconut cream or flavored liqueurs, adding to both sweetness and savory depth. It complements rum, dark spirits, tequila, and amari, and it enhances nonalcoholic drinks by providing texture and aromatic warmth.

• Stands up in shaken or stirred cocktails without losing aroma.
• Use 10–20 ml in tiki-style drinks or espresso martinis for added complexity.
• Mixes well with citrus, pineapple, spice, and bitter elements.

Can Monin Toasted Coconut Syrup be used in food prep and recipes?

Yes — its balanced sweet-savory profile works in both sweet and savory contexts. Try it as a finishing drizzle on pancakes or in compound butters, fold into dessert batters, or include in marinades and glazes to impart caramelized coconut notes.

• Add to yogurt, spreads, or whipped cream for an elevated coconut taste.
• Incorporate into marinades for grilled shrimp or chicken to introduce sweet-roasted nuance.
• Use sparingly when baking; reduce other sugars slightly to compensate.

How should I store and measure the syrup for consistent results?

The product comes in a 1 L bottle designed for professional and at-home use; store it closed at room temperature away from direct heat and light. For reliable flavor, measure using jiggers or dosing pumps and adjust to taste based on drink size and ingredient richness.

• 1 L bottle is suitable for cafés, bars, and home enthusiasts who use syrups frequently.
• Use a 30 ml pump or 15 ml pour for consistent recipes.
• Keep sealed; shelf-stable before opening—refer to label after opening for best-by guidance.
