How to Make a French Monaco Beer Cocktail<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are 3 primary ingredients that make a proper French Monaco. These can be altered and adjusted to taste or depending on what you have on hand; however, if you have a chance to make a batch from scratch, it is best prepared with the traditional ingredients. These include lemonade, lager, and grenadine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select Any Lager You Like<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although you can use any style lager and the common red syrup you used to put in your Shirley Temples, it is meant to be constructed with a top-shelf lager and a premium grenadine made from real pomegranates. The French prefer Stella Artois, which is also the recommended lager to use for this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a True Grenadine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As for the grenadine, it is recommended to use a real pomegranate syrup, such as the one made by Liber & Co. You may also use a different version of pomegranate syrup, but the authentic version is made with real grenadine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lemonade Quality is Key<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all had lemonade that was too tart to tolerate, and we\u2019ve all had lemonade that was too sweet to enjoy. When choosing a lemonade for a French Monaco, or any cocktail for that matter, quality is key. Aim for a fresh-squeezed version. You can also choose a light lemonade drink if you want to cut back on sugar and calories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You Will Need:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u25b7 2 Ounces of Lemonade (preferably made from scratch)
\u25b7 6 Ounces of Lager
\u25b7 1 Ounce of Real Grenadine
\u25b7 Long Bar Spoon<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2780 Start with a tall glass, such as a highball glass or a 16 oz. beer mug.
\u2781 Add 1 oz. of real grenadine to the glass.
\u2782 Add 2 oz. of lemonade.
\u2783 Top the glass with your lager.
\u2784 Gently stir your concoction one or two times.
\u2785 Garnish with a lemon wheel if you have one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
