Le Sirop de Monin Grenadine 250 ml

A classic red fruit syrup with sweet berry character and a vibrant colour, selected for Tequila Sunrise and other fruit-forward cocktails.

MONIN Grenadine is one of the most versatile cocktail syrups behind the bar. Its combination of red fruit character, gentle acidity and subtle vanilla notes adds sweetness, flavour and colour without introducing additional alcohol.

For a Tequila Sunrise, grenadine has another important role: its density allows it to settle beneath the tequila and orange juice, creating the distinctive red-to-orange gradient that gives the cocktail its name.

Why We Chose It

MONIN is a well-established cocktail syrup brand, and its Grenadine gives predictable flavour, sweetness and colour when following a recipe. That consistency is particularly useful when making several cocktails for a group.

The 0.25 L bottle is also a practical size for home cocktail making. It provides enough syrup for multiple drinks without leaving you with an unnecessarily large bottle after the party.

What Does MONIN Grenadine Taste Like?

Expect a sweet red-fruit profile with berry notes, light acidity and a subtle touch of vanilla. In cocktails, it adds fruity sweetness while its intense red colour makes it particularly useful for visually layered drinks.

Best Cocktails for Grenadine

• Tequila Sunrise — grenadine provides the fruity sweetness and signature sunrise gradient beneath tequila and orange juice.
• Shirley Temple — a classic alcohol-free combination where grenadine provides sweetness, fruit character and colour.
• Sea Breeze variations — a small amount can introduce additional sweetness and red-fruit character.
• Rum cocktails — useful in tropical and fruit-forward recipes that call for grenadine.

Drinkero Recommends

For a classic Tequila Sunrise, build blanco tequila and 100% orange juice over plenty of ice, then slowly pour the grenadine down the inside of the glass.

Do not stir after adding the grenadine. Allow it to settle naturally toward the bottom to create the characteristic sunrise effect. Finish with a fresh orange slice.

Why Grenadine Matters in a Tequila Sunrise

Grenadine isn't simply there to make the drink red. It provides sweetness that balances the tequila and citrus while creating the layered appearance that defines a Tequila Sunrise. Adding it last allows the syrup to move gradually through the orange juice rather than immediately mixing into the entire drink.
