MONIN drink idea

Iced Tea and Lemonade Pairing

A warm-weather beverage idea for cafés, restaurants, hotels, and offices using MONIN fruit and syrup applications.

Cold fruit drinks prepared for service

Serve style

Iced

Drink type

Lemonade

Menu use

Lemonades / refreshers

Product focus

MONIN fruit mixes, concentrates, and selected syrups

Iced tea and lemonade are useful ways to add refreshment without complicated preparation. A focused MONIN flavor range can support seasonal drinks, meeting service, takeaway sales, and non-alcoholic menu variety.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. 30 mL MONIN Strawberry Syrup
  • 1 oz. 30 mL fresh lemon juice
  • Fill with 5 oz. 150 mL cold water
  • ice

Method

  1. 1

    Pour the syrup and lemon juice into an ice-filled serving glass in the order listed.

  2. 2

    Add the cold water and stir from the bottom of the glass upward.

  3. 3

    Taste before it leaves the pass, because lemons vary far more than syrup does.

  4. 4

    Garnish and serve.

Service notes

Glass: Tall/Pint
Glass size: 16 oz.
Garnish: Lemon wheel and a strawberry half
This is the lemonade base. The flavor syrup is the only part that changes when the season does.

Adaptation options

Serve still or sparkling.
Build as iced tea, lemonade, or soda.
Adjust sweetness and garnish for café, hotel, or office service.

Rotating the flavor

- Summer: white peach, strawberry, or passion fruit. - Autumn and winter: blackcurrant, pomegranate, or red fuji apple. - For a sparkling version, replace the water with soda and cut the syrup by a quarter. - Whatever the flavor, keep the lemon juice fixed at 1 oz. 30 mL. Moving both at once is how a drink stops being repeatable.

Service beyond the counter

- For meetings and events, batch the lemonade base without ice and hold it cold for up to four hours. - For hotel welcome drinks, pour at half strength into smaller glassware. It is a greeting, not a menu item. - For offices, the tea serve holds through an afternoon better than the lemonade does.

Why this works on a menu

  • Adds menu variety with a low-complexity preparation model.
  • Works for dine-in, takeaway, meeting, and event occasions.
  • Lets teams rotate flavors without rebuilding the whole menu.

Where it can fit
