Very Berry

I have to admit, lately I've been suffering from berry boredom.  Flavors like Raspberry and Strawberry have been fan favorites for a long time in the specialty beverage world, but aren't there any other berries out there that want to break onto the scene?

The unequivocal answer is YES!  Here are my top 3 remedies for beverage berry boredom:

1) Huckleberry

Torani Huckleberry Syrup

 This berry has a distinctive sweet-tart taste.  Reminiscent of raspberry but lighter and tangier with hints of blueberry.  These rare berries emerge each summer from the hills of the Pacific Northwest.  Try it in an Italian soda or add it to iced tea and enjoy!









2) Blackberry

Monin Blackberry Syrup

The blackberry is native to the entire temperate Northern Hemisphere.  Although its flavor profile ranges from very tart to very sweet, this blackberry syrup captures the perfect flavor of a wonderfully sweet late summer berry.  It also has hints of honey and floral flavors. 









3) Blue Raspberry

Torani Blue Raspberry Syrup

Torani Blue Raspberry Syrup

This syrup takes me back to hot summer afternoons at the local swimming pool.  Sweet, tangy, and vibrantly blue, its a fun and tasty syrup that is perfect for Italian sodas, frozen beverages, and desserts.
