Frosted Mint (700 ml)

Monin, founded in Bourges, France in 1912, built its reputation on sourcing botanical extracts rather than artificial flavouring — the Frosted Mint expression uses peppermint oil distillation as its flavour base, producing a sharper, colder menthol profile than standard mint syrups that rely on spearmint or blended herb macerations.

The syrup is produced at Monin's facility in Bourges, Loire Valley, where the brand's in-house flavourists work with concentrated natural mint extracts. The sugar base is sucrose-driven, giving clean sweetness without the residual bitterness that invert-sugar or glucose-heavy syrups can introduce at high dilution rates.

What separates Frosted Mint from Monin's standard Green Mint (Menthe Verte) is the deliberate use of peppermint rather than spearmint — peppermint carries significantly higher menthol content, producing the icy, almost crystalline coolness the "Frosted" name signals.

This makes it the go-to choice for applications where a pronounced cooling sensation is the design goal rather than a soft herbal sweetness.

In a 700 ml bottle, it is positioned as a professional bar-grade syrup suitable for high-volume cocktail service.
