Monin – Syrup Advent Calendar

Monin has been making syrups in Bourges since 1912, and its flavours are now found in cafés, bars and kitchens around the world. Its Advent calendar takes the form of a gift set that reveals a new syrup flavour each day of the countdown. Each compartment contains a 5cl sample bottle of Monin syrup, and a QR code linked to each flavour unlocks a dedicated recipe, so every day brings a new drink to try. It is perfect for coffee lovers who like to experiment with flavoured lattes, home bartenders mixing festive cocktails and mocktails, or anyone who loves adding something special to hot chocolate or desserts. Because syrups keep well, the calendar will keep inspiring long after Christmas, and many of the drinks can be made without alcohol, making it a fun choice for the whole family. It is available from the Monin website, specialist food shops and online retailers, as well as Villa Monin in Bourges and Comptoir Monin in Paris’s 3rd arrondissement. A brilliant gift for coffee fans, budding mixologists or Francophiles with a sweet tooth, and a playful, flavour-packed countdown from a house with more than a century of expertise.
