Monin - Desert Pear Syrup, Bold Flavor of Prickly Pear Cactus, Natural Flavors, Great for Iced Teas, Lemonades, Cocktails, Mocktails, and Sodas, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free (1 Liter)

We bought this to make a copycat violet sake, like they do in Japan, in Epcot. It worked wonderfully and tasted just like our favorite drink!

So my use case for these syrups is probably a bit different than most people but I figured I'd leave this review for people out there who might be having the same idea I had and are unsure if these syrups are the right move. I've gotten in to homebrewing my own hard ciders during this past year and wanted to experiment with some fruit flavor combinations without having to source juice from all the fruits I wanted to try since that would turn out to be absurdly expensive. I stumbled across these while looking for a cost-effective fruit flavoring that I could add to my ciders after fermentation to bring back some of the sweetness lost after the yeast converts all the natural sugars to alcohol and to add some complexity to the flavor profile.Long story short, these work amazingly well at doing just that and considering Monin has like 130 different flavors to pick from I see myself spending a ton of money on trying them one by one. I found that if you have a cider that's fully finished fermenting to dry (basically to the point where there is zero sugar remaining) you can use anywhere from 1.5 ounces to 2 ounces of the flavored syrup of your choice per 32 ounces of cider. You can even mix different syrups together to create interesting fruity blends and with 130 flavors to choose from, the possibilities are functionally endless.

Amazing flavor and arrived packed so nicely! I have bought lots of syrups and half the time the bottles come leaking or broken cap! The packing the company uses to ship shows they care about their products and their customers!

It’s delicious. Perfect in margaritas, lemonade, iced tea, sparkling water, the list goes on! And the color is absolutely divine. It makes me happy to look at it and to drink it. It’s fruity but it also has a light floral taste that is so unique.

Authentic Prickly Pear Syrup tastes like Strawberry, Watermelon and Bubble Gum. Prickly pear syrup does not taste like pears, whatsoever. I've made my own syrup with hand picked prickly pears from the desert in Southern Utah.I have to admit though, I'm enjoying this. It's more of a pear, slightly cinnamon flavor. If you are expecting an authentic prickly pear flavor, you'll be disappointed. It does have that beautiful magenta color, which I love.

Great for making margaritas! Also good on pancakes.

I thought all of the comments and pictures deemed thr company was fixing thr problem of thr leakage. They did not and now I purchased a product that I cannot use!!!

Great flavor, cheaper than prickly pear syrup.
