March’s flavor of the month is raspberry: juicy, tart, and sweet. Raspberries are beautifully complex, each berry made up of a bunch of tiny fruits called drupelets, filled with itty-bitty seeds. There are several varieties of raspberry, but the most common varietal is known for its tender texture and bright red color. Raspberry-flavored lemonades, teas, cocktails, smoothies, and even specialty coffee drinks have become extremely popular. Monin offers several raspberry flavors to choose from, each delivering the bold berry aroma and juicy, tart flavor you’d expect from fresh-picked raspberries.

February’s flavor of the month is chocolate: smooth, rich, melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Chocolate comes in many varieties; dark chocolate, milk chocolate, semisweet chocolate – just to name a few! It’s made from cocoa, which is surprisingly bitter in its simplest form. Popular year-round, it’s perfect for creating specialty coffee beverages, after-dinner drinks, milkshakes, and culinary treats. There is just something about the feeling we get when we taste chocolate that keeps us coming back for more. Celebrate the joy of chocolate this Valentine’s Day by indulging in your favorite sweet treat, made simple with our wide selection of premium chocolate flavorings.

January’s flavor of the month is almond: rich, nutty and aromatic. Did you know that the almond is actually a drupe? Related to the cherry, plum, nectarine and peach family, they are considered a ‘stone fruit’ rather than a nut or seed. Either way, almonds are a delicious and healthy snack! The smooth, distinct taste of almond has also made it a popular choice for flavoring beverages and culinary dishes. Almond syrup, also known as ‘orgeat’ is an ingredient commonly used to create tiki cocktails and specialty coffee beverages. So think outside the shell and get creative using one of our unique almond flavors this month.
