Crabbie’s and Lambrini owner Halewood International has expanded into coffee syrups.

The Café Kiss range, available now, comprises Hazelnut, Amaretto, Vanilla and Gingerbread flavours (rsp: £2.49/ 250ml). Aimed at consumers aged from 18 to 45 years, the syrups are free from artificial sweeteners and gluten.

Going head-to-head with the Monin brand (£2.99 at Waitrose for 250ml), the range would expand “the limited retail offering”, said Halewood innovation director Richard Clark.

“Over recent years, consumer demand for coffee and new ways of drinking coffee has increased at an unprecedented rate,” he added.
