Buy or Make

Coffee/chocolate syrups are rarely made in-house at bars; Monin/Torani/Ghirardelli dominate because speed and consistency matter more than craft for espresso-based cocktails.

Price range: $8–$20 per bottle

Sweetness

Best natural sweetener for health-conscious guests who still want calories — the antioxidants and enzymes are real, just modest. Use less volume than sugar to match sweetness.

Mean GI of 58 across 17 tested varieties (range 45-74 depending on floral source). Higher calorie density than sugar by tablespoon due to higher weight (21g vs 12.6g). Contains trace antioxidants, enzymes, and antimicrobial compounds — modest real benefit. Raw honey retains more bioactive content than processed. Not safe for infants under 12 months (botulism risk).

The Story

Earthy, vegetal, and rich. Brings umami depth to cocktails in a way no other syrup does.
