Monin Agave Syrup French Liqueur 70 cl

The agave plant is best known as the raw material behind tequila, but its nectar has long since found its way into cocktail bars worldwide as a gentler alternative to sugar. Monin Agave Syrup is that nectar, dissolved and ready to use.

Expert's description

Monin Agave Syrup is a French syrup from Monin, based on agave nectar, with no alcohol.

Monin was founded in 1912 in Bourges, France, and today is one of the most widely used names behind bars worldwide. Agave nectar has gained ground with bartenders in recent years, partly because it dissolves instantly in both hot and cold drinks and has a lower glycaemic index than ordinary sugar.

Taste

The syrup has a round, clean sweetness with notes of cooked agave and honey, without the sharp sweetness that ordinary sugar syrup can have.
