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

The baseline — reach for it when you need a neutral, predictable sweet profile and no flavor complication.

Pure sucrose (50% glucose + 50% fructose). Moderate GI despite perception — fructose half blunts the spike. Zero nutrients. High daily intake linked to metabolic syndrome. Not suitable for diabetics as a free-choice sweetener.

The Story

Bright green and grassy. Adds color and earthy complexity to vodka and gin drinks.
