Monin syrups boast a rich French heritage. 1912 is infamous as the year the Titanic sank, but this year was also the birth of Monin's story.
Georges Monin founded Monin in the charming town of Bourges, a mere three hours from Paris (interesting fact: Bourges was at one time the capital of France). During this era, liqueur production was common, and Georges Monin initially followed suit. However, in the late 1920s/early 1930s, Monin began crafting flavoured sugar syrups alongside their liqueurs, a move that proved highly successful. Their commitment to quality fruit syrups quickly established them as a leader in the field.
Today, they remain family-owned with their headquarters in Bourges, and they have expanded to more than 130 flavours.


Monin itself is NOT an alcoholic drink.
It's a brand specifically designed to add flavour and sweetness to coffee drinks, teas, cocktails (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), other beverages and culinary dishes.
RapidG Notes: However, there might be a chance of trace amounts of alcohol being present in some flavours. It is always recommended to verify on the ingredient list on the label or product description.
Monin Syrup offers a smooth, easy-to-use solution for elevating the flavour profile of your favourite beverages.
Made with pure cane sugar and natural flavours, these syrups boast a delightful sweetness without any artificial colours, flavours, ingredients, and sweeteners.
Add a splash of syrup to coffee, tea, and cocktails to achieve your desired taste profile and stir gently to ensure even distribution.


Monin Puree elevates your creations with its thick, rich texture and vibrant fruit flavours.
Crafted from real fruit, these purees boast authenticity without compromise with no artificial colours, flavours, ingredients, preservatives, or sweeteners.
Monin Puree ensures consistent results every time, making it a top choice for baristas, chefs, and mixologist enthusiasts alike. Simply blend or stir your chosen puree into smoothies, desserts, and sauces for a burst of natural fruit flavour.


Monin, Da Vinci and Torani are widely considered to be the best-known syrup manufacturers offering a vast array of flavours to cater to diverse preferences.
However, some businesses venture beyond these big brands, opting for syrups from smaller, niche producers or even crafting their own unique in-house concoctions.


Starbucks uses its own proprietary brand of flavoured syrups for its beverage creations.
Premium syrup brands like Monin offer a compelling alternative for those seeking to make their own creations at home.


For many, a quick McCafe run is a delightful pick-me-up.
McDonald’s coffee features freshly ground 100% Arabica Coffee beans for a rich base that perfectly complements the Da Vinci syrups used to create Australia’s much-loved coffee concoctions from creamy lattes to refreshing frappes.
Australia's coffee scene heats up every year with the highly anticipated Coffee Chain Challenge, hosted and sponsored by Monin. This rigorous competition puts the nation's coffee chains to the test, showcasing their expertise and talent. Using Monin's syrups teams create innovative concoctions for a live audience, battling it out across three key areas: Latte Art, Seasonal Beverage creation, and Service Time.
In 2018, McCafé, represented by a team of talented baristas from across Australia, claimed the coveted title. Their winning creation, the Apple Pie Iced Coffee, blended Monin's Green Apple and Caramel syrups with McDonald's signature soft serve ice cream and apple pie.

Effortless Customisation: Pre-made and easy to store, Monin syrups offer a convenient and cost-effective way to customise your coffee experience. Skip the hassle and expense and start creating barista-worthy beverages today with ease and precision.
Simple Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry environment: For optimal shelf life, aim for a temperature range between 18-27 degrees Celsius (65-80 degrees Fahrenheit). Avoid storing in high humidity, heat, and direct sunlight.
- Refrigeration not required: Once opened, there's no need to refrigerate the product.
Shelf Life:
- With cap on: After opening, and with the cap on, expect a shelf life of 90-180 days.
- With pump or pour spout on: Shelf life reduced to 30-60 days after opening. To minimise contamination, we recommend using a pump cap or covering the pump with foil overnight.


While Monin syrups offer an exceptional way to customise coffee, caution is necessary when combining certain flavours with milk or cream products. Highly acidic syrups, like lemon, lime, and even some fruit blends, can cause milk to curdle – especially when heated in hot beverages like lattes.
RapidG Notes: To prevent curdling and still achieve your desired flavour profile, RapidG recommends a simple solution: adding a touch of vanilla syrup. Start with a small amount, (approximately ¼ ounce) of Monin's Vanilla or French Vanilla syrup, before introducing the tart flavour and dairy product.
Monin syrups offer a customisable sweetness level for your coffee. While a specific amount isn't universally recommended, RapidG suggests starting with two pumps (20ml) per 8oz serving. This provides a good base to adjust to your personal preference.
Pair your Monin syrup bottle with a matching 1L Monin Syrup replacement pump for consistent and controlled dispensing. Please note that this pump is sold separately and does not come with an end cap. This pump dispenses a 10ml shot and is BPA-free (Bisphenol-A).
RapidG Notes: For optimal pump care, please ensure that the pump is not exposed to moisture, as this may trigger mould growth. We recommend transferring the pump from one bottle (of the same flavour) to another once instead of rinsing or washing. Otherwise, simply dispose of the pumps after each use.


Embrace every season with Monin

For Professionals: While crafting bespoke syrups in-house offers unparalleled creative control, it can be time-consuming, labour-intensive and require significant upfront investment, especially for smaller establishments. Monin provides a high-quality alternative, delivering consistent flavour profiles and a vast array of options that transcend coffee. This allows you to streamline operations while still offering exciting flavour experiences to your customers.
For Mixologist Enthusiasts: Mixologist enthusiasts also benefit from Monin syrups. Making syrups at home generally requires specialised ingredients and equipment, and maintaining freshness can be a challenge. Monin's shelf-stable syrups (store at room temperature out of heat and direct sunlight, refrigeration is not required) offer a convenient and cost-effective way to experiment with a wide range of flavours, elevating your at-home creations to barista-worthy heights.
Introducing a larger, more convenient way to experience the exceptional quality and flavour of Monin syrups. At RapidG we offer Monin in 700ml and 1L formats. The 1L is perfect for cafes, restaurants, and more.
