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

Miso Caramel Latte with MONIN Caramel Syrup and latte art

Ingredients

  • 20 ml caramel-miso mix (20 ml hot water + 1 tsp white miso paste + 60 ml MONIN Caramel Syrup*)
  • 1 espresso
  • 150 ml milk or oat milk

*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

  1. Prepare the caramel-miso mix: stir together 20 ml hot water, 1 tsp white miso paste and 60 ml MONIN Caramel Syrup, then set aside.
  2. Pour the mix into a cup or latte glass.
  3. Pull an espresso.
  4. Froth the milk until creamy and foamy.
  5. Pour in the milk using latte art technique. Serve.
Garnish Monin L'Artiste Caramel (Drizzle) – not currently in our range; alternatively, a fine drizzle of MONIN Caramel Syrup
Also Possible per MONIN MONIN Salted Caramel Dessert Sauce or MONIN Caramel/Salted Caramel Syrup
