Syrups are flavour enhancers commonly used in beverages like coffee, cocktails and numerous cold or hot drinks. They are also popular for adding a depth of flavour to desserts and baked goods. Syrups not only add flavour they are also a sweetening agent that is easier to blend into ingredients and beverages than regular sugar. It is also an ideal glaze when drizzled over desserts.

What is syrup?

Syrup is a liquefied sugar that is flavoured with concentrate additives giving each version a unique taste. When used correctly, these additives enhance the taste of the food or beverage they’re added to, providing a richer and more complex consumption experience.
Syrups can be made by dissolving sugar in water or by reducing natural juices from fruits, sorghum, maples or agave. Corn syrup can also be used by using an enzyme converting process that converts corn starch into sugars.

Different types of syrup additives

Syrups, purees, and sauces are condiments that give a punch of flavour to any beverage or food menu item when used correctly. 

Syrups

Simple syrups, occasionally called bar syrups, are commonly made from equal parts of sugar and water combined until the sugar is fully dissolved. This is a common sweetening agent because it is very fluid, making it easier to blend within a mixture – most commonly beverages. The reference to bar syrup is simply because it is the sweetener of choice by bartenders when it comes to making cocktails.

Flavoured syrups are concocted with an array of blends using infused herbs, spices and aromatics. They add an extra depth of flavour to beverages and meals.

Want to add a punch of flavour with something bolder than syrup? The intense flavours of Monin pureés provide a thick, rich flavour with real fruit pieces in every serving. Add a fruity depth to your cocktails and smoothies, or an intense boost to deserts your customers will savour.

Pureés delivers a smooth and silky experience on the pallet compared to other syrups. The smooth flavour enhanced texture doesn’t crystallize or form into granules, making it ideal for any menu item.

Sauces

Add some pizzazz to your desserts, milkshakes and coffees with caramel, chocolate or dark chocolate sauces that are a welcome thick, creamy, and luxuriously flavourful addition. From a serving on pancakes for breakfast or dessert to a milkshake glass coated with the thick flavour, your guests will be begging for more of this rich deliciousness.

There's an infinite number of uses for syrups, purees and sauces. You're only limited by your imagination when it comes to using these flavour enhancers and sweeteners. The one piece of advice we give is that you need to nail your measurements when you find the perfect dose of flavour, and you need to ensure this is consistent across all your servings. One way to achieve this is with the correct application tools and measurement utensils. 

Syrup applicators

The secret to successfully serving syrup is ensuring a consistent application. These syrups pack a flavourful punch, and it doesn’t take much of a variation in measurement for your servings to differ. Invest in appropriate puree or syrup pumps and stipulate the measurement required for consistent flavour. Another reason to ensure this is to avoid spoilage and monitor use to counteract increased overhead costs due to poor measurements.
