History

The creation of the Monaco is commonly attributed to George Booth, who was inspired by the cocktail snakebite, which is made from cider and beer. The name of the drink reportedly derives from the red and white colours of the flag of Monaco. [1]

In 1995, Heineken launched “Monaco de Panach”, a bottled version of the Monaco. [2]
