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]
