PURE INGREDIENTS BLENDED WITH THE SPIRIT OF WEST AFRICA
This is not your typical vodka! MON-YÉ Vodka is a premium vodka distilled from sugarcane and infused with coconut water.
MON-YÉ Vodka’s distinct flavor and unique infusion captures the essence of African traditions, making every sip a journey of discovery. Our methods and inspiration spring from the warm rainforests and tropical coastal areas of Sierra Leone and Nigeria. The spirit of the tropics is distilled into every bottle of MON-YÉ Vodka.
Our fermentation and distillation process allows fewer impurities than mainstream vodkas. Rather than extracting and processing sugars from potatoes, corn and grains, we begin with pure cane sugar. This technique produces far fewer impurities than traditional methods, which require more processing and additives. In its final stages, MON-YÉ Vodka is infused with natural coconut water.
