Ah, gotcha! Where do I find this Monin stuff and how does it taste?

I ordered it from http://www.moninstore.com . The Triple Sec is under the 'Sugar Free Syrups' category, but the sugar free sweetener is under the 'Sweeteners' category, in the menu.
The sweetener is good - no artificial, "off" taste - and is thickened a little with cellulose gum, so it's not all watery. Perfect sub for simple syrup, IMO.
The S.F. Triple Sec is also very good, with a rich orange flavor - I use it in place of Orange Curacao in Mai Tais, too.
I also ordered their S.F. Almond, to use as orgeat. Really, I am happy with everything I've tried from Monin, so far. If it wasn't quite good enough, I sure wouldn't use it to ruin good liquor!

If you order a "case" of any of their products, they'll ship the whole order for free, including any number of single bottles. If it comes in 750 ml bottles, 12 is a case. If it comes in liter bottles, like the S.F. Sweetener, 4 is a case, and it includes a pump (1/4 oz.). I ordered a case of that, then singles of several other things, to try. Didn't want to order a lot of anything, until I tried it. When I re-order, I'll get a case of Triple Sec, and fill out the order with some new things to try.
