Classic coffee flavours
For coffee, 1883 Caramel, 1883 Hazelnut and vanilla are reliable core flavours for latte, cappuccino, iced coffee and dessert drinks.
For cafés, a smaller high-rotation core range is often more efficient than dozens of rarely used bottles.
1883 for cocktails
The range goes far beyond coffee. Ginger, almond, passion fruit, falernum, agave, elderflower and spice flavours can support both classic cocktails and modern alcohol-free drinks.
1883 Cane Sugar Syrup is a useful base for sours, Daiquiri and recipes that simply need controlled sweetness.
Pumps for professional service
An 1883 syrup pump makes dosing faster and more consistent. Once the amount per pump is known, staff can reproduce the same recipe and control cost more easily.
1883 vs Monin
Both brands have extensive professional syrup ranges, but their bottles, flavour profiles and range structures differ. There is no universal winner: taste, application and price should decide.
Pumpkin Spice and seasonal menus
Seasonal flavours can create something new without rebuilding the whole menu. 1883 Pumpkin Spice works in hot and iced latte. See our Pumpkin Spice Latte guide.
Which 1883 flavours should you choose?
| Need | Good starting point |
|---|---|
| Coffee bar | Vanilla, caramel, hazelnut |
| Cocktail bar | Cane sugar, passion fruit, ginger, almond |
| Mocktails | Fruit, floral, herb and spice flavours |
| Seasonal | Pumpkin Spice, cinnamon and warm spice profiles |
How much syrup should you use?
There is no single dose for every drink. A small coffee and a large iced latte need different amounts, and cocktails have different acid/sweetness balances. Start with the product recommendation and then standardise the recipe for your menu.
1883 for B2B
For cafés and restaurants, consider stock rotation, dosing, how many flavours staff need to learn and whether the same bottles can work across coffee, mocktails and cocktails.
