As consumers continue to seek cleaner, more flavorful alternatives to traditional energy drinks, Monin is expanding its innovative Brilliance Natural Energy™ line with the launch of Orange Cream, a vibrant new flavor inspired by a nostalgic favorite.
Originally introduced in 2024, the Monin Brilliance Natural Energy™ range was created to help operators craft colorful, flavorful iced energy beverages while meeting growing demand for functional drinks made with recognizable ingredients. Each flavor delivers 80 mg of natural caffeine per 1-oz. serving (two pumps) and combines Coffeeberry® Energy, green coffee extract, guarana, L-theanine and vitamin B12 to create a clean label alternative to traditional energy beverages.
Designed for on-premise use, Brilliance gives cafés, bars and restaurants a simple way to transform sparkling water into vibrantly colored iced energy drinks bursting with natural fruit flavor. By delivering color, energy and flavor in a single product, Brilliance simplifies preparation for busy operators while allowing them to create eye-catching beverages that consumers crave.
With the addition of Orange Cream, Monin introduces a flavor that taps directly into growing interest in nostalgic comfort flavors. Inspired by the classic orange-and-vanilla treat, Orange Cream blends bright citrus notes with smooth vanilla for a familiar yet energizing experience.
Made with authentic Valencia orange flavor and natural color, the new addition brings a bold orange hue and classic flavor profile to the Brilliance lineup. Each serving delivers the same clean energy blend found across the range, offering a balanced boost while maintaining the vibrant flavor and visual appeal that define the collection.
Orange Cream also makes it easy for operators to craft a delicious energy beverage in seconds. Simply mix 1 oz. of Orange Cream Natural Energy with 5 oz. of sparkling water to create a vibrant, retro-inspired iced energy drink that feels indulgent while delivering the refreshing lift today’s consumers expect from energy drinks.
The launch arrives as demand for energy beverages continues to grow. Consumers are increasingly looking for alternatives to traditional coffee-based caffeine sources, while coffeehouses and restaurants expand menus with iced energy refreshers that offer both flavor and function.
Monin Brilliance was designed with this shift in mind, allowing operators to quickly craft customizable, visually striking drinks that resonate with younger consumers drawn to bold colors, unique flavors and shareable beverage experiences.
With fruit-forward flavors and Glacier Clear, a versatile colorless option that can be paired with any Monin syrup for custom color, the Brilliance range offers operators countless opportunities for creativity. The addition of Orange Cream pairs the excitement of energy beverages with the comforting nostalgia of a beloved retro flavor.
By combining clean energy ingredients, vibrant color and craveable flavor in a single bottle, Monin Brilliance Natural Energy™ continues to offer a radiant way for operators and consumers alike to recharge. To learn more click here.
