Cool Down with 3 New Flavors from Monin

By | Mixology News

This summer has been a hot one, so why not keep cool and hydrate with Monin’s new flavors?

Earlier this year, the brand released a Sugar Free Lavender Syrup to join their existing Florals line. It’s ideal for health-conscious consumers seeking to reduce their sugar intake, but still want to indulge in full-flavored beverages (maybe on a rooftop or sipping poolside!).

In addition to floral summer flavors and continuing to be on the pulse of wellness trends, the brand also extended its Beverage Boosts line with the launch of Hydration Boost — an electrolyte concentrate that supports hydration. The product is nearly flavorless and can be added to any beverage for an extra boost of hydration, as well as magnesium, potassium and sodium — perfect for staying hydrated in the summer sun.

Most recently, the brand launched their Matcha Green Tea Concentrate. Not only does this product create vibrant, photo-worthy beverages, but it’s easy to use and the perfect pick me up after spending all day in the summer sun. The product boasts organic Japanese matcha powder in concentrate form, making it easy (finally) to create a matcha or add into any beverage!

See below for some fun recipes incorporating the new launches!

5 Essential Cocktails for August 2024

By | Mixology News

Each month Chilled presents you with five essential cocktails based on our National Drink Day Calendar. Don’t forget to reference it so you can prepare for the upcoming holidays.

As August unfolds and we hold onto the last bits and pieces of summer, the world of mixology presents the opportunity for adventure and discovery. Among these essential cocktails is a gem promised to elevate your drinking experience throughout the month.

These cocktails are curated to pique the interest of curious newcomers to seasoned enthusiasts. Indulge on something memorable that will linger on your palate long after your glass is empty.

Here are five cocktails to sip and savor during August.

Rosemary Aperol Spritz

There is never a better time to offer something light and refreshing than National Spritz Day on August 1. The spritz has become a fan favorite over the last few years and continues to be in the limelight. The addition of rosemary to an Aperol spritz takes the already-loved drink to the next level. Rosemary is a delicious herb that really complements the bitterness of the orange flavor.


RumChata Root Beer Float

Your search ends here if you seek something convenient and easy to have in your back pocket. A root beer float offers that nostalgic taste that patrons will be obsessed with. On National Root Beer Float Day (8/6), there isn’t anything better to serve than this RumChata libation. It’s creamy and an adult’s perfect way to celebrate. Say goodbye to vanilla ice cream and let the beloved RumChata do its thing.


Mozart S’mores Cocktail

A toasty s’more is one of the first treats that comes to mind when summer hits. Take all of those flavors and add a little booze to create the most delicious cocktail. Celebrate National S’mores Day on August 10 without having to make a campfire. It combines all of the flavors of a s’more with the smoky mezcal, chocolate, and vanilla liqueur, making it the perfect summer drink.


Bourbon Spiked Lemonade

Big-batch cocktails make for an easy pour during a busy happy hour. On August 20, celebrate National Lemonade Day with this Bourbon Spiked Lemonade. It’s a classic summer beverage that is light and tangy with an added spice from the bourbon and freshness from the mint. This cocktail allows for a lot of versatility and can be replaced with other different ingredients. If bourbon isn’t your favorite spirit, opt for vodka.


Mai Tai

Mai Tais have remained a favorite over the years for a reason. Not only are they tasty and a summer staple, but they pack a punch. Allow the timelessness of this classic cocktail to speak for itself on National Mai Tai Day (8/30). Use this recipe to serve as a base, inviting you to add your creative take.
