What the AI looks for in Syrups
- Sweetener type
- Check the label for cane sugar, sucralose, or stevia/monk fruit. Each gives a different taste and fits different dietary needs.
- Bottle size and pump
- Buy a pump made for that brand's bottle size. A mismatched pump leaks or doesn't reach the bottom of the bottle.
- Use case
- Coffee syrups are tuned to be milk-stable. Cocktail syrups such as orgeat or falernum are tuned for spirits and citrus. Using the wrong type gives off flavors or curdled milk.
Brands that matter
- Torani: Mainstream coffee syrups, with a large sugar-free range.
- Monin: Premium alternative with a broad flavor range.
- Small Hand Foods: Traditional cocktail syrups.
- Jordan's Skinny Mixes: Zero-sugar specialist.
What to avoid
- Acidic fruit flavors in hot milk drinks.
- Pumps sold without stated bottle compatibility.
