Play With Fire

Torani is ready to heat up your summer​ with their award-winning Sweet Heat, their newest syrup combining the fiery heat of ghost peppers with the sweetness of pure cane sugar. This syrup, just given the Best New Product and People’s Choice awards from the Specialty Coffee Association of America, can be used in hot or cold beverages – like lemonade, mochas, coffee, cocktails, teas, and smoothies – without changing the flavor profile of the beverage. ‘Sweet Heat’ is now available online at www.torani.com or from select foodservice and coffeehouse distributors.

“Hot and spicy foods are ‘hot’ right now. We’re taking the heat to a new level, bringing a kick to the world of drinks because it’s fun and consumers today just love new flavor sensations,” said Julie Firestone Garlikov, Torani VP of Marketing. “Imagine what you can do to a Paloma cocktail or your mocha. I can’t wait to see what people come up with.”

Ghost peppers, or Naga/Bhut Jolokia as they are known in India, are 125 times hotter than the hottest jalapeños and have been a Guinness World Records holder for heat. Torani spent three months tinkering with perfecting the balance of warmth and sweetness for Sweet Heat, sampling over 15 combinations. The final product is equal parts fiery heat, equal parts sweet. It won’t change your drink’s flavor; it will just heat it up!

Mixed in your drinks, the first sip is a sensation unlike any other. Right away, your taste buds feel the flash of heat. Then a slow-building warmth radiates across your palate, warming your throat, tingling your senses and creating a pleasant, lingering smolder. It requires just a splash to add fire to your beverage and is suggested you start with just a bit, adding more until you know just how much heat you can handle!

Torani, the San Francisco-based company, has been crafting innovative flavors for over 85 years. Sweet Heat is the latest taste sensation, building on the success of recent on-trend flavors like Blood Orange Watermelon Habanero, Chicken ‘n Waffles and the ever popular Bacon Syrup.
