Born is West Palm Beach Florida (paradise), Monkey in Paradise started as a social experiment-- Frank, Alex and Seth enjoyed meeting new people around town with MONKEY cocktail markers which helped them easily "break the ice" with the people around them. The cocktail markers caused others to ask questions wanting to know more about the monkey hanging from their glass. With the help of social media, the MIP Monkey quickly became the symbol of FUN, hanging out with good friends, and meeting new people. MIP turned into a regional lifestyle brand with signature events, gear, and an the World's Highest Rated Vodka.
