The verdict

A gift box of five sample-size bottles with recipes included. Monin says the box flavors up to 15 drinks, which works out to about 80 cents a drink at the price we checked, or about $1.45 per 30 ml serving: several times the full-size bottles on this page. That is the right price for finding out which flavor you actually reach for, and for a coffee-lover's stocking, and the wrong price for a daily habit. The listing says the syrups contain no artificial ingredients; they are sugar-sweetened, not sugar-free.
