Torani is a century-old leader in the syrup and sauce space, delighting fans with over 400 flavors to amp up their coffee, tea, cocktails, mocktails, and more.
Now, ahead of 2026, the flavor company is adding a new bold member to its lineup that goes all in on the popular botanical trend: Forest Pine.
The fusion of pine, ginger, and sage is part of Torani’s Puremade syrup collection, which is made with pure cane sugar and colors from natural sources, featuring no artificial flavors.
While pine feels like an unexpected pivot away from the brand’s 2025 flavor of the year, which tastes like a freshly popped bottle of bubbly with notes of vanilla, Torani’s market research indicates that pine could be the next big trend in flavor. There’s been a marked increase in botanical and foraged flavors, from lavender lattes at Starbucks to juniper notes in Dunkin’s Blueberry Breeze refresher.
We can also see this syrup pairing nicely in mocktails inspired by gin cocktails, substituting the spirit for a splash of Torani’s 2026 flavor of the year. Add it to limeade and you’ve got a refreshing take on a gimlet, or mix it into seltzer water, add a splash of lemon juice and bitters, and you have yourself a twist on a Tom Collins.
“We’ve seen a shift in consumer interest toward botanical and foraged flavors,” said Andrea Ramirez, consumer & customer market insight manager at Torani, in a statement shared with Parade. “Forest Pine reflects where consumer curiosity is headed, building on the foundation laid by more familiar botanicals, such as lavender. It taps into the rising demand for nature-inspired, sensory-rich experiences, and we’re excited to introduce this flavor more broadly to the U.S. market. It really feels like a taste of adventure in every sip.”
Torani has been teasing the launch on Instagram all month, telling fans, “With just one sip, we’ve been transported somewhere wild, free, and unexplored.” The comments were full of guesses as to what the flavor could be, with maple, hot cocoa, and berries like elderberry, huckleberry, and blackberry making the cut.
Several fans correctly guessed that pine, juniper, and ginger could be in the mix, but more than anything, they seemed enthusiastic to try the new flavor, writing that they “NEED TO KNOW” and were “patiently waiting for the announcement.”
