Monin - Blackberry Syrup, Delicious Berry Flavored Syrup, Cocktail Syrup, Authentic Flavor Drink Mix, Simple Syrup for Iced Tea, Lemonade, Cocktails, & More, Clean Label, Gluten-Free (1 Liter)

Obsessed with adding a bit of this to my glass of sweet tea.

After we caved and bought a soda stream, I did some research on which brand was GOOD but also AFFORDABLE. Cue: "Monin".It's 12/22, and I just checked my order history. Since 05/18, my Amazon history shows 23 Monin orders.I buy 2-3 bottles at a time, which last us 3-4 months, at a guess.Most flavors will get 5 stars (we have purchased all of these MULTIPLE times):- Lemon- Lime- Orange- Blood Orange- Mandarin Orange- Orange Tangerine- Exotic Citrus1-star:- Sugarcane Cola- Ginger- Cucumber- Lemongrass- Watermelon"huh I don't remember buying these":- Passion Fruit- Ruby Red Grapefruit- PomegranateI'm probably not the best person to write these reviews, because I don't like bubbly water. My husband is the main consumer. I asked him to rate the Monin syrups, and he said he had no complaints. As you can see from the list above, he basically likes citrus.The PROBLEM is that I get bored buying the same old lemon- lime- orange over and over again, which is why I keep flirting with Blood Orange, Orange Tangerine, and Mandarin Orange. Honestly, those are all fine. But the day I ordered Lemongrass ... oh man. "What??? It has LEMON in the name!!!" I -still- have not lived it down.I also was the proponent behind the purchases of Ginger, Watermelon, and Cucumber, all of which I really enjoy. I was hoping to get some interesting boost of flavor to make my (plain) water more interesting. Instead I got SUGARSUGARSUGAR plus the aforementioned flavors. The Watermelon in particular just tasted SO bad: really artificial and way too sweet. My chef neighbor had warned me that she had never come across a good watermelon flavor, generally speaking; I was optimistic, but I was wrong. Gave it away in my Facebook Buy Nothing Group ... and that's saying something, considering I gritted my teeth through the Ginger and the Cucumber.I'm a bit perplexed by the Ruby Red Grapefruit, Passion fruit, and Pomegranate. I have no real memory of buying these; they were definitely one-and-done. Probably nothing super offensive about them, but I got scared of trying new flavors and reverted to the safe-and-sound lemon/ lime/ orange.- AM SIL

Looks and tastes good.

Finally found it. Perfect for making martinis

The syrup itself is fine, but packaging on the product needs improvements, my syrup was open enough for some of it to leak out.Disappointed, because every bottle before this was packaged perfectly without issues

Great for cocktails! I have made several different mixed drinks using this syrup. Blackberry martini, blackberry old fashioned, etc. Also concocted this one: Maker’s Mark whiskey, Dr Pepper Blackberry (either regular or zero sugar) and a splash of this syrup. Don’t hate until you give it a go LOL. With your whisky or bourbon of choice, naturally. I usually go Woodford Reserve or James Ownby, but whatever floats your boat. 🥃5/5 Stars

You don't need a lot, it's thick and on the sweet side.

My Wife loves this stuff, she puts it in her tea all the time.
