5 Best Monin Syrups to Boost Your Mocktail Menu & Profits

Introduction

Mocktails aren't just a trend—they're a profit opportunity. With 35% of diners choosing non-alcoholic beverages, your menu needs standout options that deliver flavour and visual appeal.

The right five Monin syrups can create 20+ unique mocktails and increase your average ticket by £3-5. Let's explore the game-changers that work for QSR brands and takeaways.

1. Passion Fruit Syrup: Your Tropical Profit Maker

Why It Works for Your Business

Passion fruit delivers exotic taste at a low cost. One bottle creates approximately 30 mocktails—your cost per drink is under £0.40 while you sell for £4-6. QSR brands using passion fruit mocktails report 22% higher beverage attachment rates.

How to Make It Work

Create a "Tropical Sunrise": Mix 30ml Monin Passion Fruit syrup with 150ml lemonade, 50ml orange juice, and ice. Top with fresh mint. Prep time? Under 60 seconds.

The Bottom Line

This syrup pairs with citrus, berries, and teas. Your team can create multiple menu items from one ingredient, reducing inventory complexity while expanding options.

2. Strawberry Syrup: The Universal Crowd-Pleaser

Why It Belongs on Every Counter

Strawberry appeals across all age groups—teens to seniors. Hotels using strawberry mocktails at breakfast see 40% beverage upsell success. One bottle works in smoothies, sodas, and speciality drinks.

Simple Recipe That Sells

Mix 25ml Monin Strawberry syrup with 200ml sparkling water, 30ml lime juice, and muddled basil. Call it "Strawberry Basil Fizz." It costs pennies, sells for pounds.

3. Blue Curaçao Syrup: Instagram-Worthy Sales Booster

The Visual Marketing Tool You Can Drink

Blue drinks get photographed 3x more than standard beverages. Every customer photo is free marketing. QSR brands report "ocean-themed" mocktails outsell similar drinks by 45% on visual appeal alone.

Create Your Signature Ocean Blue

Pour 20ml Blue Curaçao syrup over ice, add 100ml lemonade, 50ml coconut water, and 30ml pineapple juice. The layered gradient looks professional without bartending skills.

Why This Drives Repeat Business

Customers remember drinks that surprised them. The visual experience creates a memorable moment that brings them back—with friends.

4. Coconut Syrup: Creamy Texture Without Dairy Complications

Meeting Modern Dietary Demands

Thirty per cent of UK consumers reduce dairy intake. Coconut syrup delivers a creamy texture without lactose, reaching vegan and lactose-intolerant customers. It has a 12-month shelf life with no refrigeration needed.

Two-Minute Tropical Dream Recipe

Blend 30ml Coconut syrup with 150ml pineapple juice, 50ml orange juice, ice, and lime. It's a virgin piña colada that costs 60% less than traditional recipes.

Operational Efficiency Wins

One syrup bottle replaces canned coconut cream, which oxidises quickly. You'll reduce spoilage and maintain consistent quality—exactly what Isaac Wholesale recommends for streamlined operations.

5. Grenadine Syrup: The Layering Essential for Premium Drinks

Why Every Professional Setup Needs This

Grenadine creates multi-colour drinks that command premium prices. The density creates natural separation for professional-looking mocktails. Restaurants report 55% of grenadine-based mocktails are ordered for sharing, increasing table spend.

The Classic Shirley Temple 2.0

Pour 25ml Grenadine in a tall glass. Add ice, slowly pour 200ml lemon-lime soda, then float 30ml orange juice on top. Garnish with cherry and orange.

Competitive Advantage for QSR Brands

While competitors serve basic soft drinks, you offer hand-crafted mocktails. This differentiation justifies your price point and positions your brand as quality-focused.

Bonus Tip: The Master Mix Strategy

Combine two syrups for signature drinks that competitors can't replicate. Try Passion Fruit + Coconut for "Tropical Paradise" or Strawberry + Blue Curaçao for "Sunset Gradient." Give them proprietary names tied to your brand—customers can't get them anywhere else.

Conclusion

These five Monin syrups give you everything needed for a profitable mocktail program. Combined, they create 20+ drink combinations from just five bottles.
