1883 was a significant year for the world menu. When French herbalist Philibert Routin selected his collection of 35 plant species from the Alps, he did more than create Chambéry Vermouth; he sparked a revolution in the world’s perception of aroma and flavor.

Today is not that different from so many years ago. Modern consumers and operators wants to know what the next big step in flavor will be, and that means searching for new and unique ingredients that challenge the traditional palate. It’s about experimenting and adjusting not only to keep up with demand but to create it. 1883 Maison Routin has a long history of doing just this. Their passionate understanding of the science behind flavor has driven them to continue innovating and inventing for generations. It didn’t take Houston’s long to see how they might enhance our syrup selection.

You need only look at a bottle of 1883 syrup to understand that this vendor is determined to provide an exceptional product. From the design of the label, the style of the bottle, to even the color of the syrup, each element is meticulously designed to entice you into giving it a taste. It’s no wonder why operators are proud to display their bottles of 1883 to customers. But the shape and weight of the glass is no comparison for what’s inside.

1883, without question, offers a premium syrup with every blend. The best ingredients are masterfully combined to elicit the perfect result for both the nose and the palate. Besides crafting a syrup that tastes phenomenal, 1883 also endeavors to make their products authentic. That’s to say that an 1883 cardamom syrup tastes like cardamom; a cayenne pepper syrup tastes like cayenne pepper! It takes a lot of effort to attain that level of fidelity, but 1883 is up to the challenge.

In addition to offering traditional flavors such as Vanilla, Caramel, and Almond, 1883 is known for its more unique options. Besides the previously mentioned spicy cayenne pepper, you’ll find cardamom, madeleine, orchid, blueberry muffin, brownie, caramelized peanut, cherry plum, and even cherry blossom syrup flavors! Whether crafting a coffee, cocktail, or any other recipe, 1883 is dedicated to providing the flavor-enhancing ingredient, no matter how specialized the flavor.

The introduction of this new brand to Houston’s catalog of syrups is meant to enhance the selection of our already existing array of flavors. We believe that 1883 is not just a new option for our customers, but a field of possibility that will compliment any existing syrup order. We look forward to helping you find how that expanded possibility can benefit your business.
