Made with 100% natural fruit and plant-based extracts and crafted for chefs, bartenders, and creators alike HYDERABAD, India, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- More than a century ago, MONIN set out with a simple vision: to transform flavour into a universal language of creativity. Today, that story turns a new page in India with the launch of PURE by MONIN — a refreshing, no-added-sugar range designed not just for the health-conscious, but for every culinary and beverage creator. Available pan-India in four natural flavours — Mint, Red Fruits, Green Apple, and Peach Apricot, PURE is crafted with fruit- and plant-based extracts, offering a clean taste that's versatile across cocktails, mocktails, cold brews, iced teas, smoothies, and even desserts. The launch comes at a pivotal moment, as India sees rising demand for low- and no-sugar drinks. According to NielsenIQ, this category doubled in 2024 to ₹700–750 crore and now makes up 10% of the beverage market. PURE reflects this shift, offering natural flavour without added sugar, artificial sweeteners, or colourants, in line with the growing preference for healthier choices. "India's food and beverage culture is evolving rapidly, and with PURE, we are giving bartenders, chefs, baristas, and home creators the freedom to innovate without compromise. PURE offers a solution that blends our expertise in flavour with the rising need for healthier options. Consumers today are seeking authenticity and transparency, and with PURE, we're proud to deliver a range that reflects those values while staying true to MONIN's global standards of taste and quality," says Germain Araud, Managing Director, MONIN India. PURE Flavour Range: • Mint: A crisp, cooling herbal lift, balanced for iced teas, chilled drinks, and dairy blends. • Red Fruits: Juicy berry and stone fruit notes with bright acidity, perfect for spritzes, smoothies, and plated desserts. • Green Apple: Fresh, tangy, and lightly floral, ideal for sodas, mocktails, or even sorbets. • Peach Apricot: Soft stone fruit, rounded with floral top notes, shines in iced teas, bellinis, yoghurt drinks, and pastry glazes.
