Monin Lychee (700 ml)

Monin, founded in Bourges in 1912 by Georges Monin, built its reputation on single-origin botanical syrups at a time when most competitors relied on synthetic flavouring compounds — a philosophy the house has maintained for over a century. The lychee expression draws on Litchi chinensis fruit flavouring anchored in a cane sugar and water base, processed without artificial colours or preservatives, consistent with Monin's published formulation standards. The result is a syrup engineered for precise, repeatable dilution in cocktail, mocktail, and culinary applications, with a Brix level calibrated for bartender-grade dosing — typically 1–2 cl per serve. What separates this expression from category peers is Monin's use of natural lychee flavouring rather than synthetic esters, delivering the floral-musky aromatic profile of fresh lychee without the fermented off-notes common in cheaper alternatives. The 700 ml format is the standard professional bar bottle, designed for speed-rail placement and consistent pour control across high-volume service environments.
