Monin Paragon Vetiver: the Mystic Collection of Cordials is born

Paragon Vetiver is part of Monin's new Cordial line, which was created with the aim of building an encyclopaedia of very rare flavours and aromas that are hard to find for those who want to create quality cocktails with an extra touch.

Paragon acts as a flavouring, sweetener and acidifier for drinks, and is produced using a new flavour extraction technique called Supermassive CO2, i.e. by means of compressed carbon dioxide, which is able to make every single facet of flavour tangible.

Paragon is very versatile, and can also be tried in its simplest expression, adding 20 ml to a soda in a tumbler full of ice: a unique and totally unprecedented experience.

The second volume in this series is the Mystic Collection: a journey back in time to discover the flavours of ancient civilisations. This new edition has led to the re-discovery of some fragrances characterised by the balsamic notes already known in the time of the ancient Egyptians and the first Hebrew tribes.

The Vetiver version is produced from the fragrance also known as khamare, a plant native to southern Africa and south-east Asia that has embodied stability and power for centuries. Rich in scents of earth, pine, berries, spices and liquorice.
