Learn more about the Monaco

This is a well-known cocktail in France, Switzerland and Belgium. In Belgium, it is called a Tango. There are many variations, but the most common ingredients are lemonade, grenadine syrup and beer. In bars and cafés, it is served on tap, which gives it a nice head.

We recommend using a tulip glass, which is ideal for preserving all the aromas. To make the perfect Monaco, pour in your grenadine syrup, then add a third of lemonade. You can then fill your glass with beer. This drink should be served very cold.

Note that there are many variations. For example, you can make the drink sweeter by adding more lemonade. You can also change the taste of your cocktail by varying the proportions of beer and grenadine syrup.
