Monin, an award-winning premium flavoring company with more than 100 years of experience, introduces the 2021 Flavor of the Year: Strawberry Rose.
Monin Strawberry Rose Syrup combines the queen of florals with ruby red strawberry to create a sophisticated bouquet of flavors. Strawberry Rose adds a beautiful scarlet hue while delivering notes of candied strawberry and soft rose in every sip and bite. It is the perfect addition to a variety of recipes including lattes, teas, cocktails, lemonades, sparkling waters, dressings, desserts and more.
“As the pandemic continues to impact the nation, consumers are still gravitating toward familiar and comforting flavors; however, they are also looking for something unique that can offer them a brief escape from reality,” says Bill Lombardo, CEO of Monin Americas. “Strawberry is a mainstream flavor that many enjoy. Blending a floral flavor such as rose with the popular fruit makes for an ideal and on-trend new offering for our customers.”
“We wanted to choose flavors that signified positivity and growth as we kick-off 2021. And, what better way to do that than with a fruit floral blend that is often emblematic of those very things,” says Stasha Johnston, senior vice president of marketing. “Additionally, as our hospitality partners continue to simplify their operations, we looked to deliver a product that would ease execution while providing an innovative and unique flavor.”
According to Monin proprietary research, 1 in 3 consumers intend to purchase a Strawberry Rose flavored beverage, and more than 50% of consumers surveyed would try a fruit & floral flavored beverage.
