L'Orangerie, La Condamine

L'Orangerie started some years ago as a company that made orange liqueur from the bitter oranges in Monaco. It's important for them to use no artificial ingredients, no colourants or preservatives. You can see that very well on the bottle, it is just oranges, sugar and water. The new carob liqueur "Carruba" contains cane sugar and vanilla apart from carob beans extracted by alcohol and water. The new citrus gin "Gin Aux Agrumes" was the first-ever gin to be distilled in Monaco and was a success from the beginning. From my point of view the artisan-made products are a bit too expensive for every day drinking (what would not be too healthy anyways), but something you open at a special occasion or really phantastic presents or souvenirs.

So when you thought you knew everything that Monaco has to offer, guess again. Philip's extraordinary drinks are a true find, but be ware, the shop is hidden from the main streams in Monaco. My recommendation would be to put this one on your to do list. Thanks for the delicious drinks (I went for all three in the end: l'Orangerie, carouba and the supersoft gin.) Better rates in the shop compared to Nice Airport too btw.

Definitely the challenge of producing in Monaco is cover now and with a great result. Launching one of the finest GIN.

We could try all the different liqeurs for free. They also have a gin.

I saw a report about this manufactory, the craftsmanship and commitment impressed me. Bottle ordered, 3 days later it was here from Monaco. A very tasty greeting from def Riviera, I enjoy in masses😉👍
