A Monaco is an alcoholic beverage from France, made of equal parts lager and carbonated lemonade along with a dash of Grenadine. A Monaco is generally drunk very cold and it has a low alcohol content.
History
The creation of Monaco is commonly attributed to George Booth, who was inspired by the cocktail snakebite, which is made from cider and beer. It was called a Monaco after the red and white colours of the flag of Monaco.[1]
In 1995, Heineken launched “Monaco de Panach”, a bottled Monaco.[2]
