MONIN Recipes 2026 – Trend Drinks for Coffee, Bar & Home
Twelve recipes from the current MONIN "Bold Choices 2026 Trends Report" – from the Miso Caramel Latte to the Cloud Coffee Cinnamon Roll. All ingredient quantities, preparation steps and garnishes come directly from the MONIN report and have been translated by us into English. Where an ingredient is not currently in our range, we state this transparently rather than concealing or substituting it. For recipes featuring espresso or matcha, we additionally link to matching coffee beans or our own ceremonial matcha powder and matcha equipment from our range.
1. Miso Caramel Latte
Ingredients
- 20 ml caramel-miso mix (20 ml hot water + 1 tsp white miso paste + 60 ml MONIN Caramel Syrup*)

*MONIN's original recipe uses "La Sauce de MONIN Caramel" (a thicker dessert sauce) – we don't currently carry this. As an alternative, MONIN itself explicitly names "Le Sirop de MONIN Caramel," which corresponds to our MONIN Caramel Syrup. Since syrup is thinner than the dessert sauce, adjust the quantity to taste if needed.
Preparation

- Pour the mix into a cup or latte glass.

Frappé is a thick, partially frozen MONIN product line for blended drinks – a separate product from the syrup, which we don't currently carry. For a similar result, you can substitute by blending with ice and a little MONIN Vanilla Syrup, although this won't recreate the original recipe exactly.
Preparation
- Put all ingredients with the ice content of a 360 ml glass into a blender cup.
- Blend until smooth (approx. 30 seconds).
- Pour into a milkshake glass.
- Garnish with whipped cream, ruby chocolate powder and pink sprinkles. Serve.
