OriginOne of the top-picks from the dessert trolley, Cheesecake has been around for centuries dating as far back as the Ancient Greeks! Several versions of it were conceived during the course of history. However, the recipe which has transformed it into a modern-day dessert icon comes from the United States, or more specifically New York, where they first discovered cream cheese.Composed of a crunchy, buttery biscuit base and layered with an unctuous, creamy mixture based on soft cheese, cheesecake can simply be enjoyed plain in the New York style or topped off with fruit or sauce. The creamy texture melts into an irresistible sweet and salty flavour combination. With MONIN Cheesecake syrup, you can enjoy this gourmet pudding flavour in your coffee and dessert drinks any time!Colour Light YellowTasting notes Nose: Freshly baked biscuit Attack: Balanced combination of biscuit and cream cheese Length in mouth: Salty hints Beverage Innovation Directors tips MONIN Cheesecake syrup is savoury and buttery which makes milk applications smooth and well rounded.

Origin A classic cocktail flavour, MONIN Chocolate syrup delivers the comforting, luxurious taste of chocolate, enjoyed by civilisation for thousands of years. The origins of chocolate can be traced back over four thousand years ago to 1900 BC. Evidence exists of chocolate beverages, representing wisdom and fertility, being made from fermented, roasted and ground cacao beans in Central America. The Maya and Aztec civilisations held chocolate in high esteem, serving chocolate drinks at ceremonial occasions and using it as a kind of tax. Only more recently did Europeans add sugar, milk and cocoa butter to create the chocolate bars and sweets that we know today. Throughout history chocolate has been regarded as a luxury, lending itself well to cocktails and speciality hot drinks.

Origin
The top-selling beverage in the world, coffee is the favourite brew which gets the day started and shapes our daily rhythm with 'the coffee break' and the 'after-dinner coffee'. It is made from roasted coffee beans, from the coffee plant. The earliest credible evidence of coffee consumption appears in the mid-15th century in Arabia in Mokha, Yemen when coffee beans were first roasted and brewed. It then spread throughout the Middle East and later to Europe via Italy. Coffee can be consumed in wide variety of ways from 'espresso' to 'cappuccino' and it is used as a flavour in cakes and puddings. Coffee and walnut cake and tiramisu are stock favourites and coffee is generally wonderful married with chocolate, nuts and vanilla. Developped to create Café Frappé drinks, MONIN Coffee syrup will impart the taste of brewed coffee with after-notes of Columbian coffee to dessert drinks, lattes and cocktails.Colour

Origin The tart flavour of cranberry is the base for many classic cocktails such as the ‘Cosmopolitan’ and the ‘Americano’. The fruit of a low shrub or trailing vine, the cranberry favours acidic, boggy soil and cooler climates.

Famed for their acidic, sweet flavour and pretty colour, cranberries are harvested in late Autumn. They have become a festive flavour associated with Thanksgiving and Christmas , when cranberry sauce is traditionally eaten as an accompaniment to roast turkey.
