Proud to offer Monin All-Natural Flavored Syrups



The Funky Brewster is proud to craft its flavored espresso-based drinks and italian sodas flavored with Monin all-natural syrups. Monin, a family-owned business founded in 1912, offers more than 100 premium gourmet flavorings. Their products are made with the finest ingredients and flavors from around the world. Monin features unsurpassed versatility, flavor authenticity and a long shelf life without refrigeration. All Monin Products are GMO free, gluten free and Kosher certified. Monin flavored syrups are sweetened exclusively with pure cane sugar, not high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

Lately, there have been some reports of health concerns related to consuming too much corn syrup. There are some who feel that the human body does not break down corn syrup the same way it does real sugar. The concern is that corn syrup is stored as fat in the body and becoming a significant cause of obesity. But others say that the claim that pure cane sugar is more healthful "just isn't true."

Regardless of the debatable health claims, many feel that pure cane sugar has a better taste. Soda "made with cane sugar has a crisp, cleaner taste and better mouthfeel, the difference will amaze you," according to Peter Van Stolk, the CEO of Jones Soda.

Many food manufacturers and beverage companies use HFCS. HFCS is somewhat cheaper that pure cane sugar in the United States due to a combination of corn subsidies and sugar tariffs.
