A Monin Alternative for Malaysian Cafés, Bars and Hotels
If you are looking for a different purée or syrup from Monin, perhaps for longer opened shelf life, a bar-grade bottle, or flavours Monin doesn't make, Finest Call and Reàl Infused Exotics are the range professional bartenders use worldwide. Both are halal-certified and stocked in Kuala Lumpur.
Why cafés switch
• Less waste. Finest Call purées keep 3 months once opened, without a fridge.
• Bar-ready bottle. A 1-litre store-and-pour bottle that fits standard speed rails.
• Certified. IFANCA halal (recognised by JAKIM), plus OU kosher. Many products are vegan and gluten-free.
• Unique flavours. Reàl Alphonso mango, yuzu, fig, ginger and gourmet pepper in squeeze bottles.
• Local stock, trade pricing. Delivered from Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.
