MONIN Almond Syrup (Orgeat) – marzipan and nougat for iced tea and cocktails
Marzipan, nougat, a warm almond aroma: MONIN Almond Syrup refines iced tea, Piña Colada and drinks with or without alcohol. 700 ml, in Bern and Zurich.
The almond has been valued for centuries for its essence and its fragrant pink and white blossom. According to MONIN, MONIN Almond Syrup carries its subtle sweetness and the warming aroma of marzipan and nougat, with natural colourings and flavourings as well as natural preservatives. The label says “Orgeat – Almond”; in Switzerland, MONIN lists the syrup under the German name “Mandel” (almond).
For many people, marzipan and nougat notes awaken memories of pastries and festive days. This has to do with the path that scents take: smell information reaches the limbic system especially directly, where emotion and memory are processed.

Can I see the product before buying?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – the display changes. Which flavours are on site at any given time may vary. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the product you have in mind is currently there.
Tip from the roastery: For an Iced Latte with an almond note we use Nutty Delight or Cozy Chocolate, brewed at a 1:2 ratio, over ice with milk and a little syrup. For us, nut, chocolate and marzipan sit close to one another. That is our recommendation, one of many.
